High on Life 2 has officially been revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, marking the return of Squanch Games’ irreverent, comedy-driven first-person shooter. Set to launch this winter, the game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with day-one access via Xbox Game Pass.
The sequel brings back the vibrant, cartoony shooter action that defined the original, as players once again take up arms—literally, since your weapons talk—on a wild intergalactic adventure. The first installment, released in 2022, received mixed reviews and faced scrutiny over the involvement of co-creator Justin Roiland, yet found strong success through its Game Pass availability. Its popularity even sparked rumors of an animated series in development.
In High on Life 2, the story continues after your victory over the nefarious space cartel. Just when you thought you could kick back and enjoy the peace, a shadowy figure from your past resurfaces—this time targeting your sister. A bounty is placed on her head, plunging your life into disarray.
