The sushi restaurant addition went down a storm with early reviewers and quickly became an integral part of the gameplay loop.

Dave The Diver was a PC exclusive when it first launched and was later released on Nintendo Switch . Once it's on PlayStation, Xbox will be the only major platform on which the indie game isn't available. Its inclusion on PS Plus is a win for PlayStation as it gives subscribers a day-one release, at least when it comes to the PlayStation version. Unlike Game Pass , only a handful of games have been given the same treatment on PS Plus, Stray , Tchia , and Foamstars among them.

Dave The Diver's April 16 PlayStation Plus arrival will likely coincide with the rest of the games being added to its Extra and Premium libraries this month. No others have been announced yet, but the three free games available for Essential subscribers are available to download starting today. Immortals of Aveum is the headliner, its release last summer overshadowed by the success of Baldur's Gate 3 . Joining it is Minecraft Legends and Skul: The Hero Slayer.
