having trouble downloading ark survival ascendant it says it's not compatible on my Xbox One s

Hi there Mark, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

It seems that the game developers never released a version of Ark Survival Ascended for Xbox One consoles, only for the new generation Xbox Series X|S consoles. It's important to note the difference between an Xbox One and an Xbox Series console.

Please be aware that the decision not to develop a game for Xbox One is entirely up to the game developers and not Xbox. Xbox provides them with the opportunity and tools to develop games for both console generations, but the decision lies with the developers.

If you want to request a refund for your game, please visit the following website:

https://support.xbox.com/help/subscriptions-billing/buy-games-apps/refund-orders

I appreciate your understanding, and if you have more questions, please let me know.

Greetings,
Gerardo.

Hi， xDDKxmalcolm

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



According to your description, you cannot install your DLC content in Ark Survival Ascended.



This is a hot issue, and the community has received a lot of feedback from players with the same problem.

Ark Survival Ascended - "DLC not installed" - Microsoft Community

You may need to wait for an official update to install the DLC content normally.

And you can try to uninstall and install it on the Microsoft Store/Xbox different programs to see if it works.
