If GTA 5 hasn’t given you adequate crime and mayhem over time, Steam customers now have a brand new open-world playground to run round in. The excellent news is that 2022’s Saints Row reboot is lastly on Steam after a yr as an Epic Video games Retailer unique.
The reboot, which we fairly loved, as you’ll be able to see in our Saints Row evaluate, was admittedly controversial because of its bugs at launch and arguably dated design. The year-long look forward to Steam customers was because of an exclusivity settlement between the sport’s writer, Deep Silver, and Epic Video games.
Even at a steep 67% low cost, which runs till August 31, this one won’t be an immediate buy should you’re hoping for extra of the superpowered antics of Saints Row 4. This one is way nearer to the sequence’ earlier video games, and certainly among the earlier GTA releases, however it’s nonetheless an action-packed open-world recreation for lower than $20. Mix that with the common quality-of-life updates over the previous yr and the newest 1.6 patch, which brings some further bells and whistles, and it’s beginning to sound like an intriguing deal.
Sadly, the sport’s lukewarm reception at launch means the way forward for a greater than 15-year-old sequence stays in query. Even with the developer pushing out new DLC earlier this yr, it isn’t clear if we’ll see one other mainline Saints Row recreation anytime quickly.
The reboot’s Steam launch will inevitably deliver it to a recent viewers, particularly at such a hefty low cost, so fingers crossed that the 1.6 replace can reignite some further curiosity. If nothing else, it ought to make ready for the GTA 6 launch date a bit simpler.
