High On Life VR in development for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S

The VR version of the 2022 shooter is still in early development and does not yet have a release date or window.

Emily O'Neal is the game director of High On Life VR, while Eric Masher of Impact Reality and Flat2VR Studios comments on the growth of the VR market and Quest headset sales.

What happened

Flat2VR Studios and Squanch Games are working on a VR version of High On Life, the comedic first-person shooter that launched in 2022. In the description of the reveal video, the team says it has been working on the conversion for about a year and that the current focus is Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. The video itself was published by VR Games Showcase and is titled High On Life VR Reveal Trailer | Single-Player Shooter | Meta Quest, PS VR2, SteamVR, but the description only names the Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets as concrete target platforms.

According to the source, High On Life VR is not finished and is still in an early stage of development. No release date or release window has been announced. The available information confirms that the game is in development, but not when the VR version will be playable.

Emily O'Neal is named in the source as game director of High On Life VR. Eric Masher, co-founder and chief operating officer of Impact Reality and Flat2VR Studios, says in the commentary that the VR market is now much larger than it used to be. He cites an estimated 30 million to 40 million Quest headsets sold. That is Masher's statement in the source, not a separately substantiated market study in the article itself.

Masher also points to Gorilla Tag, which he says has generated more than $100 million in revenue. That figure is also presented in the source as his statement. These comments are mainly meant to frame why Flat2VR Studios is pursuing a larger VR adaptation, but the source does not provide additional technical details about how High On Life is being adapted for VR.

The available information also shows that the announcement is limited to the development itself. There is no confirmation of extra platform support beyond Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S, and no details have been shared about a possible release on PS VR2 or SteamVR, despite the broader platform listing in the video title.

Background

High On Life launched in 2022 as a comedic first-person shooter from Squanch Games. The game is known for its bizarre humor, talking guns, and polished presentation. The source also notes that the game has become a major hit since its original release, which fits the visibility the title has built over time.

The new VR version is being developed by Flat2VR Studios in collaboration with Squanch Games. In the source, Flat2VR Studios is positioned as a team that has already made several VR games, and the High On Life VR reveal fits into that broader development activity. The available information only confirms that Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S are the current focus; additional platform support has not been confirmed.

The source further says the project is still in an early stage. That means no concrete information has been shared yet about the final content, the technical approach, or how closely the VR version will follow the structure of the original game. There is also no official confirmation yet about additional development partners, a release schedule, or a possible expansion to other headsets.

Eric Masher's comments place the announcement in a broader market context. He cites an estimated install base of 30 million to 40 million Quest headsets and refers to Gorilla Tag as an example of a VR game that he says has brought in more than $100 million. Those remarks are used in the source to underline that the VR market is now large enough for bigger projects, but they do not change the fact that High On Life VR still has no release date.
