Story
Fresh out of high school with no job and no ambition, you've really got nothing going for you until an alien cartel that wants to get high off humanity invades Earth.
Now, you and a team of charismatic talking guns must answer the hero's call and become the deadliest intergalactic bounty hunter the cosmos has ever seen.
What is happening now
High on Life is an irreverent first-person shooter built around an unconventional premise: your arsenal consists of talking alien weapons with their own personalities. The game released across a wide range of platforms in December 2022, bringing its absurdist humor and gun-centric combat to console and PC audiences.
The game is expanding into virtual reality, with a VR port announced for Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and SteamVR headsets launching in 2027. The VR adaptation will naturally accommodate the game's signature mechanic of interacting with its chatty extraterrestrial guns, reimagined for headset controllers.
