High On Life Achievement Guide

Squanch Games’ High On Life is here, ushering in the festive season with a blend of humor, first-person shooter tropes, and a wacky universe to explore, all pulled straight from the mind of Justin Roiland, one-half of the duo responsible for Rick and Morty. With a main story playtime of anywhere from 8 to 12 hours, High On Life also has its share of achievements to prolong the fun.

High On Life offers players 32 achievements to unlock, three of which are hidden. Below, you’ll find a complete list of all High On Life achievements, or trophies, depending on whether you’re hopping in on PC or Xbox consoles. 

Most are unmissable and can be unlocked post-game when you’re free to roam the game’s different levels, but a few are missable. We’ve marked them as such below, along with quick tips to avoid missing them.
