New PS Plus Extra Game is a Big Hit

It seems as though Dave the Diver is a big hit with those subscribed to the Extra tier of PlayStation Plus. The Extra tier of PlayStation Plus gives subscribers access to everything that comes with the Essential tier, like the monthly free games, as well as a huge rotating library of select PS4 and PS5 titles, ala Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation now. For the most part, the new PS Plus Extra games are comprised of older titles, but there are times when new games debut on the service.
In fact, April 2024 saw two games make their PlayStation debuts as part of PS Plus Extra. One game was Metroidvania Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, which was added to PS Plus Extra on April 23. The other was Dave the Diver, a game that first released in 2023 for PC and Switch, but has now finally joined the PlayStation family. As of the April 2024 update, PS Plus Extra subscribers are able to play the critically-acclaimed Dave the Diver in its entirety through their PS Plus Extra subscription.
It seems as though many PS Plus Extra subscribers are taking the time to try Dave the Diver for themselves. A report by True Trophies and GameInsights has indicated that Dave the Diver is, to date, the third-most popular PS Plus Extra game addition of all time, right behind Stray and Grand Theft Auto 5. The two other games in the top five are Sea of Stars and Horizon Forbidden West. Considering how big Sea of Stars and Horizon Forbidden West were, it's impressive to see Dave the Diver rank so high.
Dave the Diver earned rave reviews last year, and managed to take home multiple awards. Its availability through the PS Plus Extra library seems to have successfully expanded the game's audience, and so many PlayStation gamers are now getting to see what the fuss is about. Dave the Diver expanding to PlayStation means that the game is available on almost all major platforms, though Xbox fans are still waiting for news of a port for their console of choice.
In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if Stray ever loses its spot as the most popular PS Plus Extra game. Stray was one of the first day one games released on PS Plus Extra. It lets players play as a cat, and that, combined with the high review scores it earned, clearly helped it become the most popular PS Plus Extra game to date. It's possible an even bigger day one PS Plus Extra game will come through the pipeline at some point, but for now, Stray remains at the top of the mountain.
Dave the Diver puts players into the shoes of a deep-sea diver whose in charge of a sushi restaurant.
