Update: Microsoft has confirmed on its official website that High on Life has broken three Xbox/PC Game Pass records. First, we learned that no other game released this year has had as many Game Pass players as High on Life.
In terms of third-party titles even discussed for the most successful title since the launch of Game Pass itself. High on Life also holds the same primacy among pure single-player games.
Original post:
Last week, developers from Squanch Games launched the High on Life event. It’s on Justin Roiland’s handwriting is clearly visible, co-author of the famous animated series Rick and Morty. The bet on humor, talking weapons and easy gameplay was clearly a success for the developers.
Several signs indicate that the title has indeed attracted a large number of players. For example, in the review of the highest grossing games on Steam over the past week, High on Life took first place and left behind, for example, the latest Fifa and Call of Duty.
On Xbox, the novelty from Squanch Games works just as well. Game analyst with nickname Benji-Sales on his Twitter he indicated that High on Life it also ranked #1 on Game Pass’s Most Played Games list.where the game was already available on the day of release.
Benji-Sales is even quite sure that no other game this year had a more successful launch on Game Pass. In addition to the number one spot on Game Pass, it’s also worth noting that it is currently the third most played game on the Xbox itself.. Thus, High on Life defeated the traditional multiplayer giants in the form of GTA V, Apex Legends or Overwatch 2.
High on Life overtakes Grand Theft Auto V to become one of the top three most played games on Xbox
The only 2 games with more players are Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Fortnite.

For a purely single-player game and a new brand from a hitherto unknown studio, this is an amazing success that certainly has not escaped the attention of Microsoft and other publishers who may have expressed interest in a possible sequel or even the entire Squanch Games studio. .
High on Life is available on PC (Steam), Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
