Ubisoft’s Hungry Shark World topped 10M downloads on mobile in 6 days

Ubisoft Entertainment said today that its Hungry Shark World has topped 10 million downloads on mobile devices in just six days.

The French video game publisher made the announcement as part of its year-end earnings release today. The company hasn’t disclosed any revenues related to this mobile game yet, which is available on iOS and Android. It’s a zany title where you play a hungry shark and gobble up as much as you can. The results are bloody, and you score more points for eating bigger prey like humans. You can stay in the water or crawl out on the beaches.
