High on Life Releases Update 4

The latest patch for High on Life has been released which, among other improvements, adds two new graphical modes. Despite the mixed reviews, the game was a hit when it came out in December and is one of the biggest Day One releases on Xbox Game Pass. The patch that was released in January fixed some of the technical issues, such as being able to adjust the field of view and fixing game-ending glitches that prevented players from unlocking certain achievements. The newly released patch addresses further loading issues and glitches, as well as introduce the Performance and Quality settings – which offer more visual fidelity at the cost of a slower 30 fps, or a smoother 60 fps at a lower graphic quality. This comes at a time when the CEO of Squanch Games, Justin Roiland, is facing legal troubles, and the future of the company is uncertain. Nevertheless, the studio is still working hard to make sure High on Life is the best it can be, and the new patch will give players the best experience possible.
