High on Life release date: UK launch time on Xbox Game Pass
The Rick and Morty co-creator's latest is headed our way.
Rick and Morty fans must be shaking with excitement - High on Life is out today! Justin Roiland's surreal adventure looks to be everything fans would want, and more. But what is the game all about?
A sci-fi first-person shooter, either set in the future or an alternate reality (who can tell with Roiland's stuff?) and an alien cartel is trafficking the human race because - apparently - we're a pretty potent drug. The Rick and Morty creator has once again birthed a beautiful lore.
“I wanted to make games that I wanted to play, and that was the spark that sort of lit the fire of Squanch Games,” says Justin Roiland in a press release. “Then we shipped Trover, we shipped Accounting+, and now we’re on this absolute dream game that we were kind of building towards this whole time.”
