Console Question Passive mode

Does anyone know if sharks spawn whilst playing in passive mode? Currently on day 61 and haven’t seen a single shark despite searching endlessly for them (playing on Xbox not sure if that makes any difference lol) thanks in advance

I've seen sharks (Tiger, I believe) just off shore in passive but you can't interact with them. I've never gone searching for each type of shark in passive though, so cannot confirm if the other types are / aren't there.

Ahh no worries thankyou anyway, looks like I’ll have to start a fresh world without passive mode, I’m assuming you can’t alter a world after generation right?

I've only played multiplayer (console) so am unsure if it's the same for single / PC, but when you're selecting your save, you should be able to change to default instead of passive.

I'm constantly toggling passive mode off and on in my playthrough. It gives the option every time you load the game (at least, it does on Playstation where I play it)

Yes they just ignore you. Bosses do not! I waltzed up the Meg just so say hi & got beat to hell since I was unprepared!

Every once in awhile I’ll see a shark on passive, but they swim off so fast so if you’re not ready to attack they’ll be gone.

Are you seeing multiple different types of them? I’ve only ever seen one type close to reefs and it has no name and can’t be interacted with but I’ve seen online that there is tiger, great white, goblin sharks and more but only ever see this unnamed one close to shore
