This week, Squanch Games has revealed the first official trailer for High On Life 2 exclusively at the Xbox Games Showcase. The gaming phenomenon first took the first-person shooter genre by storm with its initial installment, High On Life, in 2022. Having since accrued an outstanding player base spanning over 20 million to date, the indie studio is set to infiltrate consoles on a global scale with its latest hilarious action-packed adventure this winter.
The game puts its players on a cosmic quest against an intergalactic conspiracy that threatens the fate of humanity. Longtime followers will be enthused to recognize multiple characters from their arsenals making an epic return including Gus, Sweezy, Creature and Knifey, the latter of which was at the forefront of 2023’s High On Knife DLC.

The trailer further marks the first appearance of not only unseen exotic locales, but several dynamic weapons – Spano introduces the latest additions as Travis and Jan, Sheath, and Bowie (aptly named as your all-new bow and arrow). It also reveals the first appearance of several additional alien weapons and traversal capabilities emboldening users to embrace next-level combat and visionary scenes. With a wider armory and an all-new skateboard to bat, fans can expect to shoot, stab, and skate their way through a variety of exotic locales during gameplay.
A synopsis for the game reads:
You’ve done it. You’ve taken down an intergalactic cartel, brought humanity back from the brink of extinction, and hunted dangerous bounties to the far corners of the galaxy. Bounty hunting has brought you fortune, fame and love! But when a mysterious figure from your past reappears and puts a price on your sister’s head, your cushy life gets thrown into chaos.
Do you have what it takes to risk it all and bring down an intergalactic conspiracy that once again threatens your favorite species (humans)?
High On Life RETURNS as you and your beloved rag-tag team of alien misfits shoot, stab, and skate your way through weird alien worlds all across the galaxy to blow up an evil pharmaceutical conglomerate hell-bent on putting a price tag on human life!
High On Life 2 is available to wishlist NOW on XBOX, Playstation, Steam, and The Epic Games Store. The game will also be available DAY ONE on Xbox Game Pass.
