Dave the Diver Is Out Now on Xbox at Last
Released Nov. 20th, 2025

Announced during today's Xbox Partner Showcase, Dave the Diver has plunged onto Xbox consoles at last.

Per the trailer, the Xbox version of the game is out now. Dave the Diver was originally only available on PC at its 2023 launch, followed by a Nintendo Switch version in 2024 and PlayStation releases in 2024. A Nintendo Switch 2 dedicated version just released earlier this month.

Dave's diving excursions are also set to continue with the new In the Jungle DLC set to add more locations and surprises in early 2026. If an Xbox version and new add-on content still isn't enough to satiate your appetite, Mintrocket says more Dave the Diver festivities will reach the shore when physical PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 editions launch sometime next year.

It's a bundle of goodies to keep Dave riding the post-launch wave as Dave the Diver celebrates 6 million copies sold. Those who purchase physical editions will receive the In the Jungle DLC packed in.

"Dave and the blue hole crew head off to... the JUNGLE?!" an official description from Mintrocket says. "Get ready to join Dave for another wild adventure in uncharted waters! New friends, new locations, and thrilling new discoveries await."

Dave the Diver follows Dave, who by day dives into the Blue Hole to catch fish with his harpoon gun in a survival adventure setting, and by night runs a sushi restaurant where he serves up his catches to hungry diners in a management sim. The game received wide acclaim at launch: we gave it a 9/10, saying it's "wholesome, wonderfully complex, and delightfully hard to put down."

In addition to the trailer, we also got a brief tease of some upcoming previously-announced DLC, called In the Jungle, which will feature the addition of freshwater fish and some amount of new story. This DLC was previously announced at The Game Awards last year for a late 2025 launch, but was later delayed to 2026. Developer Mintrocket has now narrowed the window to "early 2026" with this trailer.
