Xbox has announced that\u00a0High on Life<\/em>, the latest title from Rick and Morty<\/em> co-creator Justin Roiland\u2019s Squanch Games, has set three Xbox Game Pass records.<\/p>\n

In a blog post, the gaming giant confirmed that the comedic sci-fi shooter, which hit Xbox consoles and PC on December 12th, is the biggest Game Pass launch of any third-party title to date, the biggest Game Pass release of 2022 and the biggest single-player launch in Game Pass history. Xbox says these stats are based on the number of hours played in the first five days of release.<\/p>\n

Having any new IP hit a milestone like this is significant in and of itself, but High on Life<\/em>\u2018s success is especially notable since the game was originally set to release on Google Stadia, as reported in June by <\/a>Axios<\/em>\u2018 Stephen Totillo<\/a>. We\u2019ve since learned that Google\u2019s struggling game streaming platform is officially set to shutter next month, so Squanch Games certainly dodged a bullet with this one.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0High on Life<\/em>, players assume the role of a teenage bounty hunter who must use living weapons to save Earth from an alien invasion. As a Roiland-produced project, the game also has a ton of Rick and Morty<\/em>-esque humour, although that\u2019s proven to be a bit divisive so far<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Xbox Game Pass costs $11.99\/month or $16.99 for Game Pass Ultimate, which includes Game Pass for console and PC, EA Play, Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Cloud Gaming.<\/p>\n
