One of the highlights of the Xbox Game Pass roundup from this week's Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 was High On Life, which is a brand-new sci-fi shooter from Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland.
It's officially described as "a first-person shooter, with a real step up into A-level comedy you don’t see in video games," and the reason Roiland is connected is because he co-founded the development studio behind it, Squanch Games.
High on Life is officially heading to Xbox Series X and Series S this October (no word on Xbox One).
You can check out some more details below, along with the official trailer above.
"You’ll get to travel to a bunch of different planets, where you’ll meet strange aliens, recover valuable resources, hunt down awesome enemies, and soak up the atmosphere. We don’t want to share too much about those specific locations right now, because a lot of the fun comes down to not knowing what’s ahead. I will say that fans of “Rick and Morty”’s interdimensional cable are going to want to pay close attention to High On Life."
"It’s important that our games are super fun to play and aren’t padded out with a bunch of nonsense. Well, not boring nonsense. This is our first first-person shooter, and we’re proud of how it plays. It’s not a mediocre game with great jokes. High On Life is a great shooter that’s also totally hilarious and weird as all get-out."
Liking the sound of High on Life so far? Let us know down in the comments section below.

Giving odd world vibes.
This looks like something different in a very good way
This game really stood out as a fun looking game amongst a slew of dark/serious looking games.
Looks good... more fun games please!
This looks good, getting Oddworld mixed with Outer Worlds vibes
One of the highlights of the show. The graphics had an almost Pixar-like quality to them.
I actually like the look of this game. I may get it at launch.
This was probably my favourite game of the whole show, looks kinda like what the original version of Prey 2 was gonna be
It remindes me of „Journey to the Savage Planet“. Another colorful and fun looking shooter. I‘m looking forward to it.
(Can‘t play these Sniper Elites anymore …)
This game looks very interesting and like it has great humour. Definitely playing it and likely not sober....
From the people that brought us Trover saves the Universe. Hells yeah! Can't own this game soon enough.
Definitely my favourite game of the show. Great that it’s on Gamepass too. I can’t wait to play it. Really enjoy all stuff Squanch Games has put out.
Bright, colourful, humourous, it felt like an extension on gaming from Xbox / PS1/2 era before everything got a little too gritty, lifelike and serious. All over this one.
This game looks and sounds soooo Rick And Morty, really looking forward for it.
"..more, MORE!! I need MORE stabbing!!" -knify
Finally. A character I can relate to.
