DAVE THE DIVER has never been short of unusual surprises, but its latest free content pack takes things in a more musical and chaotic direction.
The DAVE THE DIVER – GGST Content Pack brings a selection of GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- inspired additions to the underwater adventure, including a rhythm game, new sushi restaurant customers and a rather formidable weapon.
Available now for free, the content pack launches on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and PlayStation, giving players another reason to return to the deep blue and Bancho Sushi. The DLC was previously exclusive to the Nintendo Switch Anniversary Edition but is now available across PC and console platforms.

Feel The Beat With The Disaster Of Passion
The most unusual addition in the pack is a new rhythm-game experience built around ‘The Disaster of Passion’, the energetic GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- track.
Rather than simply adding another song to the soundtrack, the new activity gives players a chance to follow the beat and hit the notes in a special rhythm-focused challenge. It brings a little of GGST’s distinctive musical identity into the world of DAVE THE DIVER, offering something different from the usual diving and restaurant management.
The crossover also reaches Bancho Sushi, where new cosplay customers inspired by iconic GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- fighters can make an appearance. These guests bring some extra personality to the restaurant, while the May Speaker provides another way to give the interior a more distinctive look. The speaker adds a stylish, rock-inspired presence, helping the sushi restaurant feel a little more like a GUILTY GEAR venue.
A New Weapon For Your Dives
The most practical addition arrives in the form of May’s Anchor, a special weapon that can be equipped during dives.
Inspired by GUILTY GEAR’s May, the weapon delivers a powerful impact charged with dolphin-powered force. It gives DAVE another way to deal with underwater threats, while bringing one of the crossover’s most recognisable themes into the action.
Whether you’re diving for resources or dealing with the dangers beneath the surface, May’s Anchor offers a suitably extravagant new option.
Another Free Reason To Return
The GGST Content Pack adds a mixture of gameplay and cosmetic content without asking players to spend anything extra. The rhythm game provides a new activity, the cosplay customers bring some crossover personality to Bancho Sushi, and May’s Anchor gives players something fresh to take underwater.
We awarded DAVE THE DIVER 4.5/5 in our review, praising its attractive presentation, relaxed soundtrack and enjoyable gameplay loop. As we said at the time, “The beautiful graphics, chill soundtrack, and enjoyable gameplay loop more than make up for any criticisms I could throw at DAVE THE DIVER.”
The DAVE THE DIVER – GGST Content Pack is available now as a free download on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (through the Xbox Store), PC and PlayStation. If you haven’t returned to the depths for a while, a little GUILTY GEAR-inspired chaos might be just the excuse you need.
