It looks like the comic book game High on Life has started breaking new records on the Xbox Game Pass service, according to what Microsoft said today.
The first-person shooter that comes to us from developer Squanch Games has been released on Xbox devices through the Game Pass service, as well as on PC platforms through the same monthly service.
High on Life has broken 3 Game Pass records. The first is that it became the service's most powerful launch for the year 2022. It also became the largest launch of a third-party title on the service. Finally, it became the most powerful single-story game in the first perspective of the service.
These statistics and numbers came from the number of hours of gameplay spent by players with the game since its launch five days ago. He said Mike FridleySquanch Games Studio Director:
This is our first time launching a game using Game Pass, and we’ve been blown away by the reaction from players who have made us the most popular game on Game Pass right now.
When Squanch Games started, our goal was to make games we wanted to play – and Game Pass helps us reach players who want to play those games too.
It is worth noting that the game High on Life has received mixed reviews as it has so far registered a rating of 64/100 on Metacritics. The reason for this is that it has received low reviews from some sites as it has received 4/10 on PC Gamer and 2/5 on The Guardian.
On the other hand, it received high ratings from some prominent video game news coverage sites, such as IGN, which gave the game an 8/10 rating, and GameSpot, which gave the game a 7/10 rating.
In any case, this leap that the game has started to make on Xbox and PC could contribute to attracting more to it, especially since it is available for free download through the monthly Game Pass service. The game has recently started to occupy a lot on the Internet and has trended on several occasions on social media platforms.
