High On Life was scheduled to launch into Xbox Game Pass on October 25th, but was pushed back a little to December 13th; one reason for this seems to be how busy October was for the launch of other big titles.

"October's crowded — it's really crowded," High On Life's chief creative officer and art director Mikey Spano told GamesRadar+. "For us, the benefit is the conversation. So if we're missing out on the conversation, because everybody's talking about God of War or Call of Duty, that's a missed opportunity for us."





Spano adds that the extra time is also beneficial to ensure the game is as polished as it can be. "As we were getting the game up to a certain point, we realised we would have Act One polished and it'd be great, and we might have Act Three really polished and great. And the middle would have also been great, but not quite as good as Act One and Act Three."

God of War and Call of Duty part of the reason for High On Life delay

Squanch Games' wacky first-person shooter High On Life is set to launch into Xbox Game Pass in December, and one of the reasons it was delayed from October was apparently because of how crowded October was with other releases.

Good move.

Definitely a good move on their part. While I'm not interested in the game, your release window most certainly matters. I still think it's pretty damn bold of Sega to be releasing Sonic Frontiers so close to Ragnarok.

Two month delay for some extra polish, good move.

Sonic is not an indie or oscure, its a strong brand with two succesful movies (and some prestige issues because Sonic Team), there is zero concern its going to bomb its just a minor inconvenience for gamers who wanted both Sonic and God of War on day one lol

I wouldn't wanna fuck with big papa Kratos either! No stopping that train.

I dunno, the writing in this game looks like it’ll blow GoW 8 out of the water. They shouldn’t have been worried.

I had to Google what Ubisoft had coming in November. I forgot Skull and Bones existed.
They started making this in 2013?
