High on Life Hailed as Best Game of 2022 in Game Pass

It turns out that the humorous shooter High On Life has become one of the biggest hits in the history of Game Pass.

Recently we reported, that High On Life, the humorous FPS behind which is the creator of Rick and Morty, has become the big hit of Game Pass. Today we learned more about the scale of this success.

  1. High On Life recorded the best debut of this year on Game Pass.
  2. It's also the best debut overall in Game Pass history in the single-player game category and among those developed by a non-Microsoft studio.

Recall that High On Life was released on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and on all these hardware platforms the game is available through Game Pass.

The game was not appreciated by the critics. On OpenCritic High On Life has a review average of 69%. As you can see, gamers liked the title much more than the trade media. This is proven not only by the record-breaking results on Game Pass, but also by the fact that on Steam 90% of user reviews are positive, which is categorized as a "very positive" reception.

High On Life seems to be the perfect title for Game Pass. Mixed reviews and specific humor most likely scared off many potential buyers. However, as part of a subscription, it is easier to give this type of production a chance.
