What this shark game is

The shark game this site starts from is Shark.io. PEGASUS developed it and Poki published it on 24 April 2023. The public game page lists a later edit on 5 May 2023, a free price, and support for desktop and mobile browsers. On 10 November 2026 the same page showed a 4.22 score from 254,095 votes. I treat that score as one reading of a moving number.

You play a hungry shark in shallow water. You eat smaller fish and swimmers, stay away from larger predators, pick up white objects to fill a boost bar, and collect stars for score. The PEGASUS product page adds that you ram other sharks with a horn. Poki does not publish a map count or a skin count, so I leave those blank.

Three ways to use this site

If you want to play Shark.io, the yellow button goes to the Poki game page. Poki does not allow other sites to embed that page, so the picture above is a guide illustration, not the live game. If you want the controls and the “is this the same as the 2020 Shark io?” answer, open the Shark.io guide. If you want a list, the shark games catalog sorts browser, mobile, PC and console titles from the research file.

Names that are not this game

A search for shark game also hits the San Jose Sharks hockey schedule, GameShark cheat devices, and Shark Ion appliances. Those are not covered here. Cirrial’s incremental Shark Game is a different browser game from 2014; it has its own page so the two are not mixed. The Y8 page titled Shark io is a 2020 game credited to Hihoy, not the 2023 PEGASUS game.
