DAVE THE DIVER has reached another major commercial milestone.

MINTROCKET’s hybrid adventure and restaurant-management game has now surpassed 10 million units sold across all platforms worldwide, according to an announcement from Nexon and the game’s official channels.

The milestone was reached in August 2026, more than three years after the full PC release and nearly four years after DAVE THE DIVER first entered Early Access.

MINTROCKET celebrated the achievement through the official DAVE THE DIVER account, thanking players around the world and joking that the team is now looking toward adding another digit to the sales total.

The 10 million figure represents cumulative sales across the game’s expanding list of platforms rather than performance on a single system.

DAVE THE DIVER began its commercial journey on Steam Early Access on October 27, 2022. The full PC version followed on June 28, 2023, turning what had already attracted attention during Early Access into one of MINTROCKET’s most recognizable releases.

Nintendo Switch followed on October 26, 2023.

The game then expanded to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in April 2024 before reaching Nintendo Switch 2 on November 6, 2025 and Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S later that month.

That gradual platform expansion helped keep DAVE THE DIVER in circulation well beyond its initial PC launch.

Its next major audience arrives almost immediately after the 10 million announcement.

The global iOS and Android versions are scheduled to launch on September 17, 2026.

Mobile is not entirely new territory for the game.

DAVE THE DIVER debuted on mobile in China earlier in 2026 and had already sold more than one million units there by June, according to Nexon.

The worldwide mobile release therefore gives MINTROCKET another opportunity to expand an audience that has already grown significantly across PC and consoles.

The sales milestone also arrives during a particularly active year for the franchise.

DAVE THE DIVER: In the Jungle, the game’s major content expansion released in June, has itself surpassed one million units sold.

The expansion moves Dave and his companions into a new environment and introduces additional gameplay systems while extending the structure that helped define the original game.

At its core, DAVE THE DIVER combines two very different routines.

During the day, players explore the mysterious Blue Hole, collect fish and other resources, improve diving equipment and investigate the mysteries hidden beneath the surface.

At night, those resources become ingredients at Bancho Sushi, where players manage the restaurant, develop recipes, serve customers and use the resulting income to fund further exploration.

The game continually adds new activities as the story progresses, allowing its basic diving-and-restaurant loop to expand into farming, equipment upgrades, minigames, boss encounters and other systems.

That unusual combination became one of the defining characteristics of DAVE THE DIVER following its 2023 release.

The game also earned significant critical recognition.

Nexon highlighted its victory in the Game Design category at the 2024 BAFTA Games Awards as part of the announcement marking the new sales milestone.

MINTROCKET has continued expanding the property through collaborations as well.

DAVE THE DIVER has crossed over with franchises including Godzilla, Like a Dragon and DREDGE, while the wider property has expanded into merchandise, soundtrack releases and other media.

The studio is also developing BANCHO THE CHEF, a separate cooking simulation and adventure project centered on Bancho, one of DAVE THE DIVER’s best-known characters.

Those projects suggest that the 10 million milestone is increasingly important not only for the original game’s sales but for DAVE THE DIVER as a broader intellectual property.

There is no public platform-by-platform breakdown of the 10 million total.

That means it is not currently possible to determine how many copies came from Steam, PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox or the mobile release in China using the official announcement alone.

What is confirmed is the cumulative worldwide figure.

For a game that began in Early Access in October 2022, reaching eight figures demonstrates how much its audience continued to expand after launch rather than being concentrated around a single release window.

And the timing gives MINTROCKET another opportunity to extend that run.

DAVE THE DIVER enters its worldwide mobile launch on September 17 with more than 10 million units already sold, an expansion that has passed one million sales and a franchise that continues to grow beyond its original PC audience.
