Dave The Diver's latest update is now live on Switch. While the patch notes might not be the beefiest out there, this one contains a couple of neat new features, all the same.

The update brings the game up to the catchy version number ver. 1.0.2.651. Alongside a handful of the usual bug fixes, the latest patch also adds a new language option, tweaks restaurant customisation and introduces a new 'Dream Live' rhythm minigame.

The full patch notes were shared by publisher Nexon in a recent forum post and we have collected them together for you to check out below.
