Evaluation

Murky Divers launched in Early Access on June 19, 2024 and graduated to version 1.0 on December 12, 2024. Since then, the developer Embers has maintained a consistent cadence of major content updates roughly every 3–5 months: Major Update #1 added a new Caves biome and creatures (July 19, 2024), Update 1.1 brought mod support and Challenge Mode (February 13, 2025), the one-year Anniversary Update introduced the Apothec Corps biome and two new creatures (June 16, 2025), and Update 1.3 "Hazardous Anatomy" added 11 new hazardous body parts, new equipment, and new expedition interactions (October 10, 2025). The most recent developer communication, posted June 10, 2026, announces Steam Achievements launching June 18, 2026, and a full console release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on June 30, 2026 — accompanied by full cross-play support and physical versions for North America and Europe in July 2026. The developer has never announced an end to content development, and the June 2026 post represents an active platform expansion. Today's date is August 19, 2026, placing us approximately 10 months after the last major content update (October 2025), which is at the outer edge of the established 3–5 month cadence but still in line with the broader pattern given the significant platform launch work in mid-2026. The developer remains actively engaged with the game.

About this game

Dive with a team of up to 8 to the bottom of the ocean. Your mission: Remove all corpses from Pharma Corps' abandoned labs. Erase any evidence of their failed experiments.

Dive into the ocean with a submarine that suits your playstyle. Go solo or team up with a friend in the small sub, play with up to 4 players in the regular sub, or gather 5 to 8 players for a full chaotic crew experience in the large sub.

Use your caddie to extract dead bodies from the wrecks that used to be labs. But be careful! There are things lurking and oxygen might run out quicker than you expect.

  • Do not die: the wrecks are filled with dangers and creatures ready to kill you.

  • Destroy proof to gain credits: bring the bodies back to the sub and destroy them using a shredder.

There are numerous abandoned labs spread across the ocean floor. Coordinate with your team to pilot the submarine towards them.

  • Piloting: the sub is blind, you must rely on sonar and stations to "see" and pilot it.

  • Dangers: you have to identify and avoid what lurks in the open ocean.

Survived? Good. Spend your hard-earned credits on items, upgrades, and modules to boost your chances on the next expedition. Equip items like Agent NUTS, the shopping cart, or the scooter. Upgrade with see-through vision, body part detectors, or a grappling hook. Enhance your ship with modules for greater depth, bigger fishing nets, and more. Prepare wisely for the dangers below.

Unlock diving suits by completing missions or participating in activities, adding style to your underwater adventures.

  • Up to 8 Player Online Co-op

  • Special dive sites

  • Customize your look

  • Proximity Voice Chat

  • Immersive 3D Audio

  • Procedurally generated wrecks
