High on Life 2 Release Date Confirmed: Coming to Switch 2 & No Microtransactions
Squanch Games just dropped a massive update for High on Life 2, confirming a February 13 release date. In a surprising twist, the developers announced the title will launch on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
The studio released a new developer diary outlining a clear vision. This sequel isn’t just a rehash; it’s a complete overhaul of the original chaotic formula.
Most importantly for gamers tired of modern trends, the team confirmed this is a strictly single-player experience. There are no live service elements and zero microtransactions.
High on Life 2: Bigger, Louder, and More Ambitious
The developers stated they designed this sequel to surpass the original in every metric. Squanch Games took the core elements that worked previously and expanded them with deeper mechanics and sharper visuals.
Initial concepts for the game seemed impossible to build, but the team pulled it off. They have refined the gunplay significantly. The result is a shooter that feels much more fluid and responsive than its predecessor.
According to the studio, what we have seen in trailers is just a small fraction of the game. They are hiding the bulk of the content to surprise players at launch.
Gameplay: No Battle Passes
The narrative picks up right where the first game left off. A new evil pharmaceutical corporation plans to turn humans into pills. It is up to you and your arsenal of chatty weapons to stop the harvest.
Squanch Games emphasized that High on Life 2 is a complete package. You won’t find time-gated content or diluted roadmap promises here.
This approach is a refreshing change. It means your purchase covers the full experience from day one. Since you don’t need to budget for future seasons or skins, finding a launch discount on the base game is the only step needed to get the full value.
Verdict: High on Life 2 Perfects the Formula
Squanch Games is doubling down on what made the first game a viral hit while fixing the technical jank. The inclusion of a Nintendo Switch 2 version at launch suggests high confidence in the game’s optimization and performance.
If you want a focused, humorous shooter without the headache of microtransactions, this looks like a solid win.
Are you picking this up for the humor, or are you just curious about the Switch 2 performance?
