It launched on Steam in June 2023 and quickly earned an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating from players. Since then, Dave the Diver has become available on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation, leaving Xbox fans waiting. But now, Xbox gamers will finally be able to join the fun!

Big news for fans of Dave the Diver! The popular game, which combines restaurant management with fishing, is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, starting today. Players can download the game and all previously released downloadable content immediately. Plus, Mintrocket showed off a first look at their next expansion, In the Jungle, which is coming in early 2024.

Since its initial release in 2022, Dave the Diver has been highly praised for its clever combination of different game styles. The game successfully mixes underwater adventures with the challenge of running a restaurant, making it one of the top-rated games of 2023. Through added content and updates, Dave the Diver has continued to improve, and now it’s becoming available to even more players.

We’ve gotten a fresh look at the upcoming DLC, giving us a clearer idea of what’s next for Dave and the team at Bancho Sushi. Dave will be venturing into a brand-new location, complete with new obstacles and recipes to discover. While there’s no exact release date yet, it’s currently planned for early 2026. Hopefully, this expansion will provide a welcome addition to the typically slow release schedule of January and February.
