The beloved underwater indie hit is finally coming to mobile! Pre-register in the App Store or Google Play Store today.
Mintrocket’s critically acclaimed Dave the Diver has officially opened pre-registration for iOS and Android, with a global launch targeted for August 2026. If you missed it on PC, this is your chance to dive in.
What Is Dave the Diver?

Dave the Diver is a genre-blending adventure game that follows Dave, a chubby-fingered diver who explores a mysterious ocean trench called the Blue Hole to catch fresh fish, then serves them up at his friend Bancho’s sushi restaurant. It’s part underwater action-RPG, part restaurant management sim, and entirely addictive.

The game took the PC world by storm and has already proven itself on mobile, racking up over 500,000 sales in China after a premium release there earlier this year.
What to Expect on Mobile
Good news for fans of the original: the mobile version appears to maintain the same aspect ratio and lush visuals as the PC version, making it a fully realized port rather than a stripped-down adaptation.
Not sure if it’s for you? Dave the Diver mobile will offer a free-to-try model, letting you play through the opening section at no cost before deciding whether to buy.

The mobile format feels like a natural fit for its bite-sized daily dive structure.
Mark your calendars for August 2026, the ocean is waiting.
