With help from some Saints who managed to escape and hacked the simulation to give them superpowers, the player attempts to rescue their captured friends, escape the simulation, and defeat the Zin. Five years into their governance, they find themselves trapped in the Steelport simulation along with members of their gang, the 3rd Street Saints, after an alien empire known as the Zin attack the Earth and capture them. The single-player story follows the same player-created character from the previous games, who becomes elected President of the United States after thwarting a terrorist threat. It incorporates science fiction elements, and continues the series’ reputation for over-the-top parody. The game’s open world nature allows players to freely explore a simulation of the fictional city of Steelport while completing main and side missions at their leisure. A Nintendo Switch port was released on March 27, 2020, and a Google Stadia port was released on November 1, 2021. The game was released in August 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, and was later ported to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Linux in 2015. It is the sequel to 2011’s Saints Row: The Third, the fourth installment of the Saints Row series, and the final main installment in the original series that began with the original game. The reboot, simply titled Saints Row, did unfortunately suffer from a number of issues, though an update in November did include a huge range of bug fixes.Saints Row IV is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Volition and published by Deep Silver. The Saints Row 4 update comes almost a decade after the game actually launched, and just a few months after the reboot was released. Deep Silver also noted that you don't need to worry about your saves and achievements either, as they'll be moved over to the new version.Īs well as this, Saints Row 4 will be getting crossplay, at least with other PC versions of the game, so you'll be able to play with your friends who own the game on Epic Games and GOG now too.Īlongside Saints Row 4, you can also expect to pick up Wildcat Gun Machine for free, also on December 8, a "bullet hell dungeon crawler where you take on hordes of disgusting fleshy beasts with a wide variety of guns, giant mech robots, and cute kittens." Looks a little bit like Hades, albeit somehow more hellish. But they are all included in the Re-Elected version, so it doesn't appear to be a huge issue. It should be noted that all of the DLC packs previously available on Steam will be delisted, so will no longer be able to be purchased individually.
