Overview of High on Life’s Upcoming Release
- High on Life is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch on May 6, 2025, featuring a special Game of the Year Edition.
- Players can add the Game of the Year Edition to their wishlist at Limited Run Games, which will include all updates and downloadable content (DLC).
In an unexpected announcement during the latest Direct presentation, High on Life is officially making its way to the Nintendo Switch. This first-person shooter, known for its quirky humor reminiscent of Rick and Morty, has elicited mixed reactions among gamers; some enjoy its distinctive play style and humor, while others find it somewhat off-putting. With this upcoming Switch release, a broader audience will now have the opportunity to form their own opinions about High on Life.
Speculation was rife ahead of the March 27 Direct, especially with the recent news of a presentation detailing the much-anticipated Switch 2 scheduled for April 2. Initially, Nintendo clarified that this Direct would focus solely on the original Switch lineup, leaving fans curious about the lineup’s content. The announcement of High on Life as a new addition to the Switch catalog certainly caught many by surprise.

Following the Direct event, Squanch Games confirmed that players can look forward to a special Game of the Year Edition of High on Life for the Switch. This enhanced version will not only include a physical game copy but also provide access to all game updates and DLC. Although an exact price point and release date are still awaited, fans can express their interest by wishlisting it at Limited Run Games. Earlier this year, High on Life achieved notable recognition as the fourth most popular free title on PS Plus since January 2023, indicative of its growing fan base—making it a good opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
While the visual representation in the trailer suggests that High on Life may not perform at the same level on the Switch as it does on Xbox and PlayStation platforms, this variance is to be expected given the Switch’s lower hardware specifications. Additionally, Nintendo has announced that the forthcoming Switch 2 will be backward compatible with select original Switch titles, paving the way for potential enhancements to gameplay performance for fans who opt for the upgraded console. More details from both Nintendo and Squanch Games are anticipated as the release date approaches.
