Hello! I understand you have Hungry Shark Evolution installed on your old laptop with Microsoft Store but can't see it in your library on your new PC. Let's get to the bottom of this.
To start, are you signed in with the exact same Microsoft account on your new PC as on your old laptop? Your library is tied to your Microsoft account, so being logged into a different account will show a different game list.
Assuming the account is the same, here are some points to consider and steps to try:
1. Check if Hungry Shark Evolution is still available on Microsoft Store: The Windows Store version of Hungry Shark Evolution was last updated in 2015 and reportedly delisted (no longer available) since then. This could mean it won't appear as available for download on new devices1.
2. Refresh your Microsoft Store library: - Open Microsoft Store and ensure you're signed in correctly. - Click your profile picture icon and go to "My Library" or "My Games & Apps." - Click the refresh icon or restart the Store app to reload your purchases.
3. Check the hidden library or filter settings: Sometimes games get hidden or filtered out (e.g., only showing installed apps). Make sure filters aren't hiding the game.
4. Try to search for the game directly in the store: Search for "Hungry Shark Evolution" in the Microsoft Store on your new PC. If it appears, it might allow to install again. If it says not available, unfortunately this means the game has been removed from the store for new downloads.
5. Consider that the Windows version had server closure: There was a server closure announced for the Windows version which may impact availability or online features4.
If the game was removed from the store and you cannot find it in your library, it means unfortunately the Windows Store version is no longer supported or available for installations on new devices.
As alternatives, if you want to play Hungry Shark Evolution on your new PC, you might consider: - Using an Android emulator to run the mobile version of the game on Windows. - Checking if there's an alternative PC version outside the Microsoft Store.
Could you please confirm if you have checked or tried logging in with the same Microsoft account on both devices? Also, let me know if Hungry Shark Evolution still appears in your library on your old laptop. That might help me assist you further!
Thank you for clarifying that you can re-download Hungry Shark Evolution on your old laptop but not your new PC. That helps narrow things down.
Since you are using the same Microsoft account, the issue may be related to the availability or compatibility of the game on your new PC. Here's what I suggest:
1. Confirm Windows Version Compatibility Your new PC is running Windows 10 (version 10.0), which should generally support Microsoft Store apps. However, the original Windows Store version of Hungry Shark Evolution hasn’t been updated since 2015 and has been delisted from the Microsoft Store, which could prevent installation on newer devices3.
2. Manually Search for the Game in Microsoft Store on New PC Try searching "Hungry Shark Evolution" directly in the Microsoft Store on your new PC. If it doesn’t appear or says not available, that confirms the delisting is preventing installation on new devices.
3. Check if Hidden or Filtered in Library Sometimes apps are hidden or filtered out. In the Microsoft Store app, open “My Library” and ensure filters (such as “Installed” or “Owned”) aren’t hiding the game.
4. Consider Server Closure Impact Note that the Windows version's server was officially closed September 2022, potentially impacting app functionality and availability for new installs4.
5. Alternative: Use Android Emulator on New PC Since the Windows Store version is delisted and no longer supported for new installs, you might consider running the mobile version of Hungry Shark Evolution on your new PC via an Android emulator like BlueStacks. This can give you access to the latest updated game on your PC environment10.
Would you like help setting up an emulator on Windows 10 so you can play Hungry Shark Evolution on your new PC? Or do you want me to look into any other possible solutions for your installation issue?
Great question! Transferring your Hungry Shark Evolution game progress to your new PC depends on how your progress is saved and the platform's support for cloud saves.
Here’s what you should know and do:
1. Cloud Save Availability Hungry Shark Evolution supports Cloud Save primarily for mobile devices on the same Operating System family (iOS to iOS or Android to Android). So, if you had been playing on a mobile device with cloud saving enabled, you could sync your progress between devices of the same OS.2
2. Windows Store Version and Xbox Live For the Windows version, progress is often linked with your Xbox Live account or Microsoft account used on the device. If you are logged into the same Microsoft/Xbox Live account on both your old laptop and new PC, your game progress should sync automatically when the game is installed and online.
However, since the Windows Store version is no longer available for new installs and its servers have been shut down, syncing progress through this method might not work anymore.8
3. Manual Transfer Unfortunately, there is no official method to manually transfer save files for Hungry Shark Evolution on Windows PCs because game saves are typically stored in protected app data folders or managed cloud-side by Ubisoft.
4. Alternative: Use Mobile Version and Cloud Save If your goal is to preserve and transfer your game progress, consider playing Hungry Shark Evolution on a mobile device or emulator that supports cloud save via Facebook, Google Play, or Apple ID. This way, you can log into your account on multiple devices, including an Android emulator on your PC, and your progress will sync.7
### What I recommend:
- Ensure you are signed into the same Microsoft account on your old laptop and new PC. - If you still have access to your old laptop’s game installation, launch the game and check if it connects online and syncs your progress. - On your new PC, given that you cannot install the game from Microsoft Store, you will likely have no way to transfer or continue your previous progress with the Windows version. - Consider installing an Android emulator (e.g., BlueStacks) on your new PC and logging into your Ubisoft/Google/Facebook account that you use for Hungry Shark Evolution on mobile. You can continue your game progress there with cloud sync.
Would you like me to help you set up an Android emulator on your Windows 10 PC so you can play Hungry Shark Evolution there, keeping your progress intact?
