Mintrocket has exciting news for fans of the beloved game Dave the Diver: it’s set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2! But here’s the kicker—you’ll be able to upgrade for free if you already own a copy on the original Switch. This announcement is a big deal, especially as the game celebrates its second anniversary since its initial release.
Free Upgrade Details
So, what’s the scoop on the upgrade? Anyone who bought Dave the Diver on the previous console will be able to get the new version without spending a dime. While Mintrocket hasn’t nailed down a specific release date yet, they suggest we can expect this upgrade in just a few months. And get this: the revamped game is set to deliver a smoother experience, boasting a minimum of 60 frames per second for a more immersive gameplay.
This free upgrade isn’t just a nice gesture; it’s part of Mintrocket’s strategy to show appreciation to their dedicated players and keep the community buzzing. The game itself offers a delightful mix of underwater exploration and sushi restaurant management, creating a unique gaming experience that balances relaxation with some action-packed moments. By day, players dive into the enchanting Blue Hole to catch fish, and by night, they serve delicious dishes to eager customers, all wrapped up in charming pixel art and memorable characters.
Anniversary Celebrations and Additional Content
As part of the second-anniversary festivities, Mintrocket is bringing back a limited-time free DLC featuring none other than Godzilla, available for players to redeem until the end of 2026. This nostalgic addition is sure to delight both fans of the game and those who are fond of the iconic monster franchise.
But that’s not all! The Ichiban’s Holiday DLC, inspired by the Like a Dragon series, is also available until late 2026, and players can enjoy discounts on this content. If you’re keeping an eye on sales, be sure to check out the special summer deals on Steam while they last.
Lastly, a quick heads up: the launch of the In the Jungle DLC, originally set for later this year, has been postponed. Players can now look forward to this exciting new content rolling out in early 2026. These updates are not just about enhancing the gameplay; they reflect Mintrocket’s dedication to keeping the community vibrant and engaged. Are you ready to dive back in?
