The first is considered one of the best games developed by Supermassive Games, while the second is a particularly wacky title imagined by one of the creators of the Rick & Morty series, and unveiled during the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase with a release in day one on the Xbox Game Pass next October, the 25th to be precise.
Everything seems to oppose The Quarry and High on Life on paper, and yet. We learn via the American site Axios that they have a roughly similar trajectory in the end since these two projects were started with the idea of being Stadia exclusives. But, as you know, faced with Google’s difficulties in attracting gamers, the Silicon Valley giant decided to abandon the idea of funding games internally.
For The Quarry, an agreement between Google and Supermassive Games was announced in 2020, and it was ultimately Take-Two via 2K Games that saved the project after the giant’s withdrawal. Less information has leaked out about High on Life, but we imagine that the idea of releasing the game on the Xbox Game Pass made it possible to recover part of the development costs through an agreement signed with Microsoft.
