Dave the Diver is now available on Xbox

"Dave the Diver, the smash hit adventure RPG/management hybrid, is finally available on Xbox. The game, about an intrepid scuba diver named Dave who splits his time between underwater adventuring and serving sushi in a local restaurant, started as a PC exclusive in 2023, but has since made its way to Switch, Switch 2, PS4 and PS5. Only Xbox remained, but it's here now, along with all DLC released to date."

"If you haven't played Dave the Diver before, it's almost impossible to do the game justice with a brief summary. The core loop sees you diving for fish during the day, which you obediently bring to the chef at the sushi joint you moonlight at for preparation. But that's barely scratching the surface. The eponymous diver also battles sea monsters, runs errands for a secret underwater civilization and eventually manages his own farm."

Dave the Diver launches on Xbox, bringing the game to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S with all DLC released to date. The game follows scuba diver Dave, who alternates between underwater exploration and serving sushi, combining adventure RPG mechanics with management simulation. Developer Mintrocket has added expansions including a Dredge tie-in, a Godzilla crossover, and a cameo from Ichiban Kasuga. The 'Into the Jungle' DLC was delayed to early 2026 but a new trailer teases it as the biggest expansion yet and even shows Dave playing his own game on a ROG Xbox Ally X. The gameplay loop includes diving, battling sea monsters, running errands for an underwater civilization, mini-games, and farm management.
