To change the camera view on Xbox, you’ll need to follow these exact steps:

  • Hold down the View button (occasionally called the Back or Select button by some) to open a radial menu.
  • Move the right stick over the option that’s labeled “Toggle Third Person” in the bottom left.
  • Let go of the View Button.

Ark Survival Ascended has a lot of options and mechanics, with quite a few needing to be redesigned somewhat to work with a controller. These include different HUD toggles and a variety of camera options, including the switch between first and third person.

Changing the view is a whole lot easier on PC, as by default all you need to do is scroll your mouse wheel. If you’re playing on PC with a controller though, you’ll have to deal with the same control layout as Xbox/console players. This means you’ll need to hold the view button (or its equivalent) and use the radial menu.
