In recent years we have seen a whole host of brand new IPs rocket to success, not needing the cache of a franchise or series in order to sell millions of copies. One of the most unique new IPs from 2022 was the comedic first-person shooter High on Life. Just 4 months following its launch, the game has already surpassed 7.5 million players.
Making the announcement on Twitter, the official High on Life account said “HIGH ON LIFE > 7.5 MILLION UNIQUE PLAYERS. PLAY THE BIGGEST @XboxGamePass LAUNCH OF 2022 NOW ON @Xbox AND PC!”
As mentioned by the announcement, High on Life was made available day-one as an Xbox Game Pass title meaning that 7.5 million players does not in any way equate to 7.5 million copies sold. Even so, its success is notable – especially with how out-there the game is conceptually.
While the game feels somewhat tainted due to its heavy association with Justin Roiland, High on Life remains a ‘highly’ fun time and so for those who have yet to try the game, now is as good a time as any to do so.
With the game proving to be a success, it will be interesting to see whether High on Life gets any form of DLC – or perhaps even a sequel.
