The game originally was set for a November launch, however, due to what is being described as taking “a little extra time to squash some bugs,” it is now being released on December 13. As with other hold-ups for games this year, this seems to be a circumstance of adding some extra polish.

High On Life is a new Xbox exclusive from the creator of Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites, Justin Roiland, and his game development company, Squanch Games. The game takes biopunk shooting and melds it with the humor that Roiland is well-known for thanks to his hit cartoon series.

In the absurdist vein of his other projects, Roiland’s High On Life puts players in control of an unnamed space-exploring bounty hunter and throws them on a planet of anthropomorphic, talking guns. With these gun, they’ll travel the galaxy to save humans from unknown threats. It features voice talent familiar to Adult Swim faithful such as Roiland himself, Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, and even J.B. Smoove.

Those interested can get their hands on a talking gun with High On Life on December 13, 2022. The game is set to launch exclusively for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PC. High On Life will also be available via Xbox Game pass on release day.

I’ve been using the wrong gaming VR headset for years
A Meta render gives you an idea of what you'll experience in VR with a Quest 3S.

As a long-time VR gamer, I've always found myself in an awkward position. I'm certainly not a casual player at this point, but I'm also not quite a full-blown techie. I don't spend my time studying the ins and outs of lens shapes or obsessing over resolution. I'm just happy to use whatever headset lets me play games comfortably and conveniently. That's meant that for the past few years, my Meta Quest 3 (and Quest 3S) have been my go-to choice for gaming.

That said, they haven't always been a perfect fit for my needs. I've struggled to get the comfort level exactly where I need it and I often find that its visual barriers butt into my experiences more than I'd like. I've learned to live with those quirks over the years because it felt like there wasn't any other option. That is, until I dusted off my PlayStation VR2 for the first time in over a year. After sitting down to play The Midnight Walk on my forgotten headset, I'm now wondering why I ever stopped using it in the first place. It's a reminder that just because something is the shiny new toy doesn't mean that it's inherently the best choice for your needs.
