SHARK.IO PLAY ON POKI

Hungry Shark games compared

Start with Hungry Shark Evolution if you want the phone game people mean by the name. Pick World if you want the newer seas and the console edition. Part 1 is the 2010 paid app. Primal was a 2023 Android beta limited to the Philippines.

Which one to install

Future Games of London made the series. Ubisoft has published it since the studio was acquired. Evolution (2012) is the free phone game, also listed for Google Play Games on PC with the long shark roster: the wiki lists 12 common, 6 titan, 10 special, 8 evolved and 3 demon sharks. World (2016) keeps the eat-and-grow loop, adds tiered sharks and three currencies, and later shipped a paid console edition in 2018 on PlayStation, Xbox and Switch. If you only want one free download, Evolution is the one with the longer public history. If you want a controller on the couch, World is the one with a console SKU.

Part 1 (2010) was a paid iOS app and is the ancestor, not the live service. Heroes has no public page I could cite, so it is not in the table. Primal’s record is an open beta on Android in the Philippines in 2023, credited to Ubisoft, and later coverage says the beta was cancelled. I do not treat Primal as a current install.

Dates that disagree

The Hungry Shark wiki’s article text dates Evolution to 18 October 2012. The same page’s infobox says 24 October 2012. I write “October 2012” and keep both days in the Evolution guide. World’s article says four locations while a menu label on the same wiki says five. I name the four seas and note the extra menu entry instead of averaging them to 4.5.
