Release Details
Dave the Diver, which first made waves on PC in 2023, arrives today on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud. Developed by Mintrocket, the game lets players dive into the mysterious Blue Hole during the day to gather ingredients while managing a bustling sushi restaurant at night. It's optimized for handheld devices, enhancing its accessibility across Xbox platforms.
The game earned high praise upon release, with Eurogamer awarding it five stars. Reviewer Christian Donlan described it as "wholesome, harmonious and completely unwilling to settle," calling it "one of the most generous games in years." The title features tense underwater exploration, where players upgrade gear to handle deeper dives and deadlier creatures, alongside restaurant management elements like hiring staff and breeding fish.
