It isn\u2019t immediately clear how to do this, though, which can be a little frustrating.\u00a0 If you want to switch up your perspective as you play, keep reading, as we'll explain how to change between third and first-person mode in Ark: Survival Ascended.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Xbox Console players have a few more steps to switch perspectives, but it isn\u2019t 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\u00a0 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\u2019ll see the same Toggle first-person or Toggle third-person option. Simply select it to change perspective. That\u2019s 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.
