High on Life launched on the original Nintendo Switch earlier this year, but now the game is getting a bit of a console upgrade. As announced by developer Squanch Games, High on Life is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2, and it comes with several small but welcome improvements. That isn’t even mentioning the very agreeable upgrade path.
First of all, you can use the Joy-Con 2’s mouse controls if you like playing your first-person shooters as if you’re on a PC–a nifty use of the feature we’ll surely see in other FPS releases further down the line. There’s also improved VFX and texture quality, a higher frame rate, and an enhanced resolution while docked that brings the game up to 1080p and 30 frames per second.
The good news for those of you who already own the game on the original Switch and have also picked up a Switch 2 is that you can upgrade the game completely for free. Or, if you’re buying it for the first time, it’ll set you back $40 digitally.
High on Life originally launched back in 2022 to a middling reception, generally landing on the positive end more than negative. GameSpot’s High on Life review didn’t come away from it massively wowed, but did find it funny at least.
A sequel was also announced earlier this year, and is currently set to be released February 13, 2026. It will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, but there’s currently no word on a Switch or Switch 2 release.
