High on Life 2’s Release Date
High on Life 2’s release date is locked for February 13, 2026. That’s right: brace yourself, because the wildest talking-guns-in-space shooter is coming back just in time to make winter a little less gloomy (or, depending where you live, disturbingly arrow-filled and weird). I’ve been counting down—maybe not literally marking X’s on the wall like an obsessed bounty hunter, but hey, it’s been a while since the original dropped its absurd flavor onto our screens.
The announcement hit during Gamescom 2025, and the delay to early 2026 stung a bit, even if it wasn’t a total surprise—these games are ambitious, and if there’s one thing I remember from the first High on Life, it’s that “rush jobs” are for suckers. Worth the wait? My hopes are high, especially since the devs are promising more of that barely-controlled chaos, plus some shiny new tricks.
Let’s talk platforms, because the more ways to play, the better. High on Life 2 is landing on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Game Pass onboard for all those Xbox loyalists who want to recklessly demolish alien weirdos without shelling out extra cash. I remember one argument at my buddy’s place (“I’m telling you, it’ll never hit PlayStation!”) that’s now a moot point—everybody’s invited to the intergalactic party. Personally, my PC setup’s just waiting for a reason to whir its fans in terror. I love that this sequel is embracing cross-platform chaos right out of the gate; fewer of those smug “only on…” conversations, more people getting in on the absurd comedy and wild universe.
But here’s what excites me: the developers are promising a new skateboard mechanic. I mean, talking guns are cool, but skating through gelatinous hallways, flipping over bizarre aliens? That’s a power fantasy I didn’t know I needed until now. If you’d told my younger self—skateboarder by day, gamer by night—that someday I’d be kickflipping through space in a shooter, I might’ve called you delusional. Now it’s canon! And, word on the street, the voice cast is getting even more wild (Ralph Ineson joins the madness), and we’re catching up with our favorite failure-hero bounty hunter for even bigger, stranger exploits.
So if you’re like me—living for games that are weird, colorful, and proudly irreverent—mark your calendar, because February 2026 can’t come soon enough. High on Life 2 isn’t just a sequel; it’s a reminder that gaming doesn’t have to take itself so seriously, and sometimes the best adventure is the one that makes you laugh till you snort out your energy drink.
