After the bizarre, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt bounty-hunting adventure that was the original game, High On Life 2 is here, bringing more talking guns, stranger worlds, and another intergalactic mess for humanity’s most unlikely hero to clean up.
Launching on Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass and PC, the sequel from Squanch Games looks ready to dial everything up across the board.
This time around, the stakes feel a little more personal. Life after saving humanity was supposed to be easy, but when a shadowy figure from your past resurfaces and puts a target on your sister, it’s back to the bounty-hunting business once more.

Back To Bounty Hunting
High On Life 2 picks up after the events of the first game, where players successfully took down an alien cartel that threatened Earth. That victory earned fortune, recognition, and a bit of peace. But it doesn’t last long.
A new threat emerges in the form of a powerful pharmaceutical conglomerate operating across the galaxy, one that sees humanity as a commodity rather than a civilisation worth saving. As conspiracies unfold and danger closes in, you’ll once again travel between alien worlds, tracking bounties and uncovering the truth behind a growing interstellar crisis.
Expect the same fast-moving, irreverent storytelling that made the original such a memorable ride. It’s why we have included High on Life 2 in our most exciting games for February 2026 article.
Weird Worlds And Even Weirder Weapons
If the first High On Life proved anything, it’s that Squanch Games knows how to blend offbeat humour with solid shooter mechanics. High On Life 2 continues that tradition, letting players shoot, stab, skate, and explore across vibrant alien environments packed with strange characters and unexpected moments.
Your arsenal of living weapons returns too, each bringing their own personality, commentary, and abilities to combat encounters. Whether you’re navigating dangerous alien ecosystems or chasing criminals across the galaxy, the mix of comedy and action remains front and centre.
And yes – things will probably get weird again.
A Sequel Fans Have Been Waiting For
Back in 2022, the original High On Life proved to be one of the most distinctive shooters of the year. In our 4/5 review, we said: “Whether High on Life truly works for you or not will come down to your thoughts on Justin Roiland’s signature brand of humour. As someone who is a fan of Rick and Morty, I was laughing, out loud, constantly – when you couple that with the existing strengths of the gameplay and experience, I found this to be a trip well worth taking.”
With High On Life 2 expanding the universe, story, and action, this sequel looks to build on that foundation with bigger adventures and higher stakes.
