Dave the Diver, the charming and addictive underwater adventure RPG, continues to reel in players, surpassing the 5 million copies sold worldwide.

Developer Mintrocket took to X to celebrate the milestone, highlighting the game's continued success since its launch in 2023. This impressive figure comes just after announcing 3 million sales in January, demonstrating the game's enduring appeal and steady growth.

Dave the Diver has garnered critical acclaim for its unique blend of genres, combining deep-sea exploration, fishing, restaurant management, and RPG elements into a surprisingly cohesive and engaging experience. Currently sitting at an Opencritic score of 90 with 100% recommendation by critics (one of the few games to achieve it), it's easy to understand how an indie game could sell these many copies.

Mintrocket has been diligently supporting the game with consistent updates, including crossover DLC content featuring popular titles like Dredge and Godzilla. This has undoubtedly also helped to keep the game relevant over a year after its launch.

Dave the Diver is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. While there's no word yet on a potential Xbox release, the game's popularity across multiple platforms suggests it could be a worthwhile addition to Xbox's portfolio.
