High On Life 2 on Switch 2: file size and cartridge format

Game-Key Card

High On Life 2 is Squanch Games' comedy first-person shooter. The Switch 2 version was first dated for April 20, 2026, then delayed to July 1, 2026 so the studio could spend more time on the port. The US eShop lists a 39.2 GB download, about a sixth of the 256 GB internal storage, and the retail edition is a Game-Key Card, so the cartridge only unlocks that download. Squanch has not published resolution or frame-rate figures for Switch 2. Miketendo64's review found it mostly smooth in both docked and handheld mode, with occasional stutter in heavy gunfights, texture pop-in on the skateboard and slow load times, all more noticeable in handheld mode.
