Six months on from its full release, Dave the Diver has netted 3m sales

Definitely-not-an-indie-game Dave the Diver has reeled in an impressive sales milestone, just six months after the mix of fishing sim, restaurant management game and slice-of-life RPG exited Early Access.
Dave the Diver first bobbed up to the surface back in 2022 as a curious blend of fishing minigame and running a sushi restaurant that managed to make a bit of a splash thanks to its unexpectedly winning smörgåsbord.
After almost a year in Early Access, developers Mintrocket - an arm of Korean publishing giant Nexon, making Dave the Diver decidedly Not Indie no matter what Geoff Keighley tells you - launched the finished game last June. Well, mostly finished, anyway, as they’ve continued to add quality of life improvements - including reduced button-mashing - and some other new gameplay elements (largely crustacean-based) in updates since.
In the just-over six months since, Dave the Diver has shifted three million copies around the world, Mintrocket announced in a post aping The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s cover with the game’s pixellated characters. Those sales lump together both PC and Nintendo Switch players, but it’s an impressive number to hit regardless.
