High On Life Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Launches With Major Upgrades

High On Life Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Launches With Major Upgrades High On Life, the irreverent sci-fi comedy shooter developed by Squanch Games, has quickly become a fan favorite since its original release.

Earlier this year, the title made its way to Nintendo Switch, bringing its offbeat humor and unique gameplay to a new audience.

Now, in a surprise move, Squanch Games and Nintendo have launched the High On Life: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, delivering a suite of technical upgrades and new features specifically for Nintendo’s latest hardware. Launched without prior announcement, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of High On Life introduces a range of enhancements aimed at leveraging the power of the upgraded console.

Players can now experience advanced motion controls for more immersive gameplay, improved visual effects, and substantially upgraded texture quality.

Performance is also significantly boosted: the game now targets a resolution of up to 1080p at 30 frames per second when docked, delivering a much smoother and crisper experience compared to its predecessor. A spokesperson for Squanch Games emphasized that these improvements are designed to provide "the most seamless High On Life adventure yet on Nintendo hardware," highlighting the developer’s commitment to optimizing the game for new technology.

They reiterated that current owners of the Nintendo Switch version will be able to upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition at no additional cost, ensuring loyal fans are not left behind. For players new to the series, High On Life puts you in the shoes of a recent high school graduate with little direction, until a ruthless alien cartel invades Earth—seeking to get high off human beings.

With the planet in jeopardy, you team up with a quirky arsenal of talking guns, embarking on a wild interstellar journey as an unlikely bounty hunter.

The game is noted for its distinctive characters, sprawling biomes, inventive weapons, and sharp comedic writing, all trademarks of Squanch Games’ creative approach. In addition to the main campaign, players can also access the High On Knife DLC.

Set two years after the defeat of the G3 cartel, this DLC follows the exploits of Knifey, who enlists your help to track down a mysterious package from his homeworld.

The expansion introduces bizarre new scenarios, from befriending a gentle giant to encountering a pinball gun and tackling sinister poaching syndicates and a menacing intergalactic shipping company, all with the game’s signature offbeat style. High On Life: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is now available digitally via the Nintendo eShop, priced at $39.99.

The game continues to attract both new and returning players, thanks to its accessible upgrade policy and focus on maximizing the potential of the Nintendo Switch 2.

With these notable improvements, Squanch Games reaffirms its reputation for technical innovation and player-focused updates on Nintendo platforms.
