David the self-contained underwater breathing apparatus diver, better known as Dave the Diver, has now surpassed 10 million units sold across all platforms. This figure accounts for the sales that began when Dave the Diver entered its initial Early Access launch in October 2022.
Mintrocket says that their game hit this monumental milestone in August, just before Dave the Diver released on mobile platforms (iOS and Android). Even that mobile release sold quite well, with "1 million units already sold during the soft launch in China."
Dave the Diver is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBOX One, XBOX Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, macOS, Steam, Epic, and is coming soon to iOS and Android.
DAVE THE DIVER is a casual single-player adventure/role-playing/simulation game that pairs deep-sea exploration with sushi restaurant management. Gameplay is built on three pillars: restaurant management, where players can customize their menu, serve guests and grow their reputation, sea exploration where players deep dive into the mysterious Blue Hole, which has lots of secrets to unearth; and boss fights featuring unique mechanics and twists.
This unique gameplay blend, enhanced with a combination of pixel/3D hybrid graphics and Mintrocket’s signature style and humour, continues to resonate with players worldwide.
Over the past three years, DAVE has gone from strength to strength with regular free and premium downloadable content updates featuring cherished IP including Godzilla, Like a Dragon, Dredge, and more. The most recent expansion, DAVE THE DIVER - In the Jungle, released on June 18th this year, has already surpassed 1 million units, attracting both a strong commercial and critical reception, earning a ‘Mighty’ 91/100 rating on OpenCritic.
“Everyone here at Mintrocket continues to be blown away by the passion and love that Dave the Diver attracts even years after launch,” said Jaeho Hwang, Head of Studio and Game Director, Mintrocket. “We are looking forward to expanding the Dave the Diver franchise in the future, including the upcoming cooking simulation and adventure spin-off, Bancho The Chef. We want to thank everyone who has shown their faith in us, and we can’t wait to share our future plans.”
