High On Life

Microsoft has confirmed High On Life is the biggest Xbox Game Pass release for all of 2022, making it the platform’s most successful title this year.

Furthermore, Microsoft confirmed the new comedy shooter is the biggest third party launch in Game Pass history, and the biggest single-player game launch for the platform, ever.


High On Life has been available for Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

“This was our first time launching a game with Game Pass,” said Mike Fridley, Studio Director and COO of Squanch Games, “and we’ve been blown away by the response from the players who have made us the most popular game on Game Pass right now. When Squanch Games was first created, it was to make the games we wanted to play – and Game Pass is helping us reach the players that want to play those games too.”

“High On Life is an incredibly unique title that we’ve been excited about for a long time,” said Matt Percy, General Manager of Content Planning at Xbox. “It’s fantastic to see so many Game Pass members jump into it at launch to experience Squanch’s story for themselves ahead of the holidays.”
