Dave the Diver follows, well, the titular character who takes to the ocean to fish for fresh ingredients for his friend Bancho's newly opened sushi restaurant. Of course, given this is the miraculous Blue Hole where every conceivable species is located in one place, there are definitely stranger things afoot than just seafood.

China-first

Dave the Diver originally hit mobile over in China and managed to

make quite a mark,

especially for a premium release. But with its mixture of undersea adventure and Diner Dash-style minigames, when you're serving at Bancho's restaurant, it shouldn't be surprising that so many players have dipped their toes in.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Dave the Diver, and I'm equally excited to see it make its way to mobile. From what screenshots we've now seen, it looks as if it'll maintain the same aspect ratio and lush visuals of the original as a fully realised port of the PC version.

Even better, if you're unsure as to whether you'll like Dave the Diver, you can have a go at it without paying a cent with a free-to-try model. Dive into the opening for free and see whether Dave the Diver is serving up something fresh or if it smells deceptively fishy.

In the meantime, if you want to keep up with other top releases like Dave the Diver on mobile, you're in the right place. Just have a gander at our list of the best mobile games of 2026 (so far), where we collate the newest and greatest releases hitting mobile this year!

Slots & Daggers sees you leaving things up to chance in this dark fantasy Balatro-like

The Convergence is a dark fantasy auto-battler that uses an isometric perspective

As we head towards midday, there's an interesting little iOS auto-battler that's just crossed my desk. That's a genre I've often expressed confusion about the appeal of in the past, but if there's one that can justify why people like it, I reckon that The Convergence, out now on iOS, may just be that! With its isometric perspective and dark fantasy world, it's easy to see that The Convergence may have taken some significant inspiration from the world of Diablo. In it, you equip your heroes and send them out, watching as they either succeed or fail based on your preparation. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/the-convergence/out-now-on-ios/)

MoonDust: Cosmic Journey is an atmospheric sci-fi side-scroller with lush graphics

It's hard to really communicate the majesty and grandeur of outer space in gaming. I mean, there's only so many times you can stare in wonder at stars and nebulae before it all gets a bit samey. Fortunately, MoonDust: Cosmic Journey offers a truly visually attention-grabbing take on worlds of sci-fi and outer space! Available now on iOS, MoonDust is described by the developer as an atmospheric sci-fi exploration game. What that means is you'll have basic side-scrolling action in the foreground as you pilot your ship and avoid obstacles while collecting different elements, as in the background a gorgeous vista of strange alien worlds goes by. ...
