How to switch between third and first-person in Ark: Survival Ascended
PC
To switch perspectives on PC, all you need to do is scroll your mouse wheel. This will instantly switch perspectives. If you want to switch back to third-person from first, scroll with the wheel again.
Xbox
Console players have a few more steps to switch perspectives, but it isn’t too complicated. Hold down the Select button to bring up a radial wheel with various commands. Navigate to the top-left corner of the wheel, and you will see a command that says Toggle first-person or Toggle third-person, depending on your current perspective.
Hover over that option and select it, and the camera angle will change. To change back to your previous perspective, press Select to bring up the radial wheel once more, then choose the Toggle option again.
PlayStation 5
Switching perspectives on PlayStation 5 is similar to Xbox. The only difference is you have to hold down the Touchpad to bring up the radial wheel. When the wheel is on-screen, you’ll see the same Toggle first-person or Toggle third-person option. Simply select it to change perspective.
That’s all you need to know about switching perspectives in Ark: Survival Ascended. Changing between third and first-person perspectives is a must, as certain views offer better immersion for players who like to get stuck into the world. Not only that, but you can also get a better lay of the land with certain perspectives. Thankfully, Survival Ascended offers a quick and easy way to change perspectives with no hassle.
