This milestone was announced through the game's official social media accounts. A separate post also appeared on the game’s Steam page.
According to the press release, this noteworthy achievement was reached back in August, right before the global mobile launch. The last million sales occurred during the soft launch in China.
A significant driver of sales has been the release of a major paid DLC for the game—In the Jungle. Furthermore, this DLC has itself sold over a million copies by now.
With its release on iOS and Android on September 17, it can be said that the game is available on all current platforms. It is available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, macOS, and Windows (both on Steam and the Epic Games Store).
Speaking of Steam, according to Gamalytic, up to 7.2 million of all game copies sold are from this store, and the project's revenue from the platform is approaching the $100 million mark.
The Korean team Mintrocket, which developed the game and is a subsidiary of Nexon, plans to expand Dave the Diver as an IP. The company has already announced a spin-off Bancho The Chef, a culinary simulator with adventure elements that tells the story of one of the main characters of Dave the Diver.
