Mintrocket’s hit adventure, RPG and restaurant-management hybrid dives onto iOS and Android with DLC and mobile-exclusive optimizations
SEOUL – September 17, 2026 – The Blue Hole now fits in your pocket. Mintrocket today announced that DAVE THE DIVER is available now worldwide on iOS and Android, bringing Dave’s award-winning mix of deep-sea exploration, fishing, eccentric characters, and late-night sushi service to mobile players.
Straight from the depths of the Blue Hole to the palm of your hand, the mobile version lets players experience Dave’s full adventure alongside his colorful cast of friends, business partners and unexpected allies. Popular additional content is also available at launch, including the DREDGE content pack and the recently released In the Jungle content pack. DAVE THE DIVER Digital Extra is provided for players who purchase the base game and can be accessed within the game.
The mobile version also includes several features and optimizations designed specifically for handheld play. At Bancho Sushi, players can use gyro tilt controls to pour tea by physically tilting their device, while a three-level view distance option gives players more flexibility over how they explore. In the Sea People’s Village, Dave can also fast travel directly to different NPCs to help keep his underwater errands swimming along.
“Bringing DAVE THE DIVER to mobile has been something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time, because the structure of the game feels very natural for playing wherever you happen to be,” said Jaeho Hwang, Head of Studio and Game Director, Mintrocket. “At the same time, we didn’t want to simply put the existing game on a smaller screen, so the mobile version includes little changes that could make the experience more comfortable and fun on a phone. We’ve already been very grateful for the response during the soft launch in China, and I’m excited that players around the world can finally take Dave, Bancho and the rest of the crew with them. I hope everyone enjoys the dive.”
The worldwide mobile launch arrives as DAVE THE DIVER recently surpassed 10 million sales across all platforms, continuing a remarkable run since its initial Early Access debut in October 2022. The mobile version itself had already sold 1 million units as of this June during its soft launch in China ahead of today’s global release. The game’s latest and largest expansion, DAVE THE DIVER – In the Jungle, has also surpassed 1 million units sold since launching on June 18, 2026.
DAVE THE DIVER is available on iOS and Android today, with a launch discount available for the first two weeks of its release.
Since its debut, DAVE THE DIVER has continued to grow through regular free and premium downloadable content, including collaborations with Godzilla, Like a Dragon and DREDGE, while retaining the unusual blend of gameplay that first sent Dave beneath the waves.
