A Free Upgrade for Dave the Diver on Nintendo Switch 2

The popular game Dave the Diver will receive a complimentary upgrade for the Nintendo Switch 2, as confirmed by its developer, Mintrocket. This pixel-art adventure and restaurant management game was a standout performer in 2023, originally launching on PC and soon after making its debut on the Nintendo Switch in October.

Mintrocket was previously part of Nexon, which stirred discussions during the 2023 Game Awards when Dave the Diver was nominated for indie game recognition. Now, as a stand-alone entity, Mintrocket boasts a comfortable rating of “Overwhelmingly Positive” on Steam, with over 5 million units sold just seven months post-launch. Since then, the studio has released several updates and DLCs, demonstrating its dedication to enhancing the game long-term.

The Nintendo Switch version of Dave the Diver has garnered praise for its reviews, and it appears the game is already set to benefit from the Switch 2’s hardware enhancements. Though no specific release date is provided, speculation suggests that players might enjoy this upgrade soon, potentially this year.

Mintrocket mentioned through their YouTube channel that, “We will be providing free Switch 2 Upgrade soon!” although more details remain under wraps. Fans are eager to see further improvements and possible visual enhancements included with the Switch 2 launch.
