News Saints Row Team Thrown Under the Bus: 'They Didn't Know What They Were Building'
Deemed "so expensive" and lacked "direction"
Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Interactive, has made some scathing comments about the now-closed Saints Row studio Volition, after he worked with Embracer Group when Saber Interactive was temporarily acquired. As part of an interview (paywalled) with Stephen Totilo of Game File, Karch is asked about...
Feature Saints Row Expansion Pass Review - Is It Worth Buying?
A look at all three expansions
Is the Saints Row Expansion Pass worth buying? With the reboot's DLC plans having now come to an end, we wanted to take a look at the sandbox's additional offerings and attempt to gauge whether the aforementioned pass is worth the price of entry. With that goal in mind, we recently played through all of the Expansion...

Overhauled combat and much, much more
Developer Volition has posted a frankly gigantic list of changes coming to Saints Row next week.

News Saints Row's First Story DLC, Major Update Drop Next Week
Planning a heist
The first of three story expansions for the new Saints Row will release sooner than some people realise. Titled The Heist and the Hazardous, this DLC is about the Saints taking revenge on an "obnoxious movie star". It drops next week, on the 9th May, alongside a major update — also the first of three, planned out until August...
News Saints Row Teases 'Huge' Combat Overhaul in Next Update
Gang warfare
We don't really know what it means right now, but Saints Row is getting a "huge" combat overhaul in its next update, which is currently scheduled for a May release. This patch was actually announced last week, as developer Volition outlined the game's roadmap through to August. <related ids="147221"> Although said roadmap did...
News Saints Row Outlines Three Expansions, Three Major Updates Through August 2023
That's a lot of support
Love it or hate it, the new Saints Row is getting a glut of post-launch support over the next few months. Developer Volition has revealed a roadmap for upcoming content, which includes three (paid) expansions and three (free) major updates. Things really get going in May, with the first expansion, titled The Heist and the...
News Saints Row Sales Flop Forces Parent Company to Change Its Policy on New Games
"Each project has to earn its right to exist"
Embracer Group, the company that ultimately funded last year's Saints Row reboot, has had to re-evaluate its approach to greenlighting new games. In the firm's latest financial report, it essentially admits that the new Saints Row didn't meet sales expectations, while assuring investors that it's...
News Huge Saints Row Patch Out Now on PS5, PS4
The 'Bright Future' update
Saints Row has just received its previously announced 'Bright Future' update, which has a heavy focus on fixing bugs, improving performance, and rebalancing numerous gameplay mechanics. It's available to download now, and the patch notes are hefty. "The Bright Future Update is our first major release since launch and...
News Saints Row Dev Commited 'Long-Term', First Big Update Has 'Over 200' Improvements
Drops in November
It only launched a couple of months ago, but it feels like Saints Row has struggled to have much of an impact on the gaming sphere. That's probably down to rather mixed reviews and somewhat stunted word of mouth, but at least developer Volition is committed to improving the sandbox title. In a new blog post, the studio outlines...
News Embracer CEO Doesn't Expect a Great Return on Investment from Saints Row
"It's difficult"
Saints Row finished second in the August NPD report, so how bad could things possibly be? Well, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors, whose company owns developer Volition, doesn’t sound too enthusiastic at all. “Personally, I had hoped for a greater reception of the game,” he said, as reported by Axios’ Stephen Totilo. “It’s...
News What a Twist, Saints Row Denied EU Number 1 By GTA 5
Crime does pay
We don't usually cover the monthly European software charts here on Push Square — often because there's, well, not really much to write about — but August's results have created quite the headline story. The new Saints Row, which released on the 23rd of the month, was beaten to the top spot by none other than Grand Theft Auto V...
You're the Boss
The rebooted, new-look Saints Row is here, and we quite liked it ( we even wrote a whole Saints Row Collectibles guide!) — but the game's received plenty of criticism elsewhere. As such, it's quite difficult to judge just how well this latest open world romp will resonate with players. It's got the advantage of launching at a time...

Review Saints Row (PS5) - Seriously Dumb Fun Outweighs Dated Open World
The old dusty trail
Believe it or not, it's been nine whole years since Saints Row IV, and to be honest, not much has changed (minus the superpowers and alien invaders, obviously). The simply titled Saints Row is a reboot of the series, sporting an entirely new setting, new characters, and a fresh story — but the gameplay structure that the...
News Saints Row Gets a Suitably Stupid Gameplay Trailer Ahead of Impending PS5, PS4 Release
Everything you need to know
Saints Row is fast approaching its 23rd August release date, which can only mean one thing: trailers. This latest video provides a chunky look at gameplay, and goes over just about everything that you need to know with regards to the title's over-the-top sandbox. The main takeaway here is that this is still Saints Row in...
Hands On Saints Row Is That Same Dumb Fun, But Better
Like a boss
It almost feels like the initial, divided reaction to the new Saints Row title was for an entirely different game considering how similarly it plays to past entries. We recently had the chance to play the latest open worlder for a whole four hours, and we can report this is the same Saints Row you know and — quite possibly — love...
News Saints Row Goes Gold a Month Before PS5, PS4 Release
Open worlder ready for launch
Volition last night confirmed Saints Row has gone gold ahead of its PS5, PS4 launch on 23rd August 2022. This means work on the 1.0 version of the game is now complete, and so the developer will turn its attention to preparing a day one patch and working on post-launch content. Three expansions have already been...
Review Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell (PS4) - More Silly Sandbox Action
Damned if you do
Republished on Wednesday, 13th July, 2022: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of July's PS Plus Extra, Premium lineup. The original text follows. You'd be forgiven for thinking that Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell isn't actually a PlayStation 4 game. Right from the word go, the now-zany...
Review Saints Row IV: Re-Elected (PS4) - Ridiculous Open World Is Dumb Fun

News Saints Row Boss Factory Out Now on PS5, PS4, Lets You Make Your Character Ahead of Launch
Boss, that
Looking forward to Saints Row in August? If the answer to that question is yes, then you'll want to head over to the PlayStation Store and grab the Boss Factory. It's a free download, and it lets you create your own character ahead of the full game's release. You'll be able to import your hero (or antihero) into the finished product. The...
Preview New Saints Row Looks Like Fantastic Fun, But It's Also Distinctly Last-Gen
In with the old
The new Saints Row has looked better and better every time that it's been shown — and recently we got to see a whole chunk of the sandbox title in action. Volition's latest is still unapologetically Saints Row (and by that we mean Saints Row: The Third), right down to the ridiculous character customisation and mental side...
News New Saints Row Customisation Showcase Is Crazy In-Depth
Character, vehicles, weapons, the lot
Yes, there is total character creation and customisation in the new Saints Row, and yes, it seems to be even more in-depth than it was in previous games (which is saying quite a lot). The upcoming sandbox just got a fresh trailer that takes you through all of the ways that you can shape your own boss, and it...
News Big Saints Row Showcase Set for Next Week
Focus on character creation
And here we were, just thinking that it's about time we saw more of the new Saints Row! The upcoming sandbox title will show off its supposedly in-depth customisation system next week, on the 20th April. Said showcase will go live on both YouTube and Twitch. Often absurd character customisation has always been a staple...
News Saints Row Celebrates the Season with a Ton of Wacky PS5, PS4 Gameplay Clips
Mad
We think Saints Row developer Volition heard its fans loud and clear: the original trailer for the reboot just wasn’t wacky enough. Ever since then it’s really doubled down hard on showcasing just how zany its new title can be, and we’ve been getting a glimpse of that courtesy of a bunch of mini-trailers it’s sharing on its Twitter...
News Saints Row Grabs an Explosive New Gameplay Trailer
Still set for August
The new Saints Row got a flashy gameplay trailer at The Game Awards 2021, and it continues to push that chaotic sandbox feel. Honestly though, we didn't expect to being seeing it so soon after its recent delay announcement — especially when it was set so far back. It's still scheduled for the 23rd August 2022, but will you be...
News Saints Row Delayed All the Way Back to August 2022
Team needs more time
The release schedule for February 2022 just got slightly lighter as developer Volition confirms it has delayed Saints Row to 23rd August 2022. The game was originally launching on the same day as Elden Ring for PlayStation 5 and PS4. Now it becomes a summer release, lending the studio more time "to create the best Saints Row...
News New Saints Row Story Mission Gameplay Is Our Best Look at the Reboot Yet
Gang activity
Game Informer's coverage of Saints Row continues with what is easily our most in-depth look at gameplay yet. The footage features two different main story missions, and although we don't get to gawk at any cutscenes, we do get a general idea of how the game's going to play. Spoilers: it's very much a Saints Row title. It's a bit rough...
News Saints Row Gameplay Shows Combat and Chaotic Cop Chases
Freeze!
This video from Game Informer is probably our best look at the new Saints Row so far. The gameplay embedded above certainly entertains, as the Boss attempts to escape the clutches of law enforcement. It's got high-speed crashes, exploding cars, and a glimpse of gunplay. That said, there is a point in this footage where the cops just seem to...
News Saints Row's Open World Looks Nice and Varied in New Districts Trailer
Yours to conquer
The new Saints Row has you and your gang start out at the bottom of the criminal organisation ladder. It's up to you to grow your empire and take control of the game's sandbox city, which is apparently made up of fifteen different districts, all with their own unique look and landmarks. Honestly, Santo Ileso shows a lot of promise...
