High on Life 2 announced during Xbox Games Showcase, an out-of-this-world FPS sequel that looks just as wildly trippy as the original

As Summer Game Fest 2025 continues, today's Xbox Games Showcase is here with a plethora of exciting titles to look forward to – including High on Life 2, a trippy sequel to Squanch Games' 2020 first-person shooter.

The High on Life follow-up debuted during the livestream with its first official trailer, offering a first glimpse of the same extraterrestrial vibes and colorful visuals fans of the original game will likely remember it for. It seems to feature the same silly Rick and Morty-esque humor of the OG title, too, as well as its action-packed, punchy gameplay. The trailer doesn't just unveil gameplay, however, but also a launch window.

According to Squanch Games' new trailer, High on Life 2 is set to release sometime this winter – so there's not too long left to go before its launch. This period could mean anything from December to late March, which means either a late 2025 or early 2026 release date. The FPS will come to virtually all platforms aside from the Nintendo Switch 2, dropping on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

High on Life 2 stands as Squanch Games' latest project following High on Knife, the first shooter's spooky DLC from 2023. While there's not too much information on the sequel's story or what it'll revolve around just yet, it feels safe to say that it'll be as wild a ride as the original's own was. As someone familiar with High on Life, I'm personally expecting lots of shooting and stabbing – and a whole lot of absurdity.

Interested fans can follow Squanch Games on Steam to wishlist High on Life 2 today, or keep an eye on other platforms' storefronts, like the Microsoft Store for Xbox and the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 5.
