As rumoured, Saints Row The Third Remastered is coming to PlayStation 5, and it'll be a free upgrade if you already own the game on PS4. It arrives next week, on the 25th May — that'll be just over a year since the PS4 version launched.
The official press release says that the PS5 edition will boast 60 frames-per-second at dynamic 4K resolution. It'll also feature "much faster" load times thanks to the system's custom SSD. Exactly what you'd expect, then, except the development team's also excited to share that the game will make the light on your DualSense controller glow purple. A nice touch.
Will you be playing Saints Row The Third on PS5, here in 2021? Be the boss in the comments section below.

I am vehemently anticipating the days where PS5 releases are actual PS5 releases and not upgraded old titles nobody asked for
C’mon new games! Are you hiding from us?! Don’t be shy we won’t bite
I’m currently playing through on ps3. Can I get an upgrade there too
This’ll be the third console I own this game on. Will I actually get around to it on PS5? We’ll see!
Hey at least the upgrade is free and a new stack of trophies too
It would be neat to see more of these PS5 upgrades support haptic feedback and/or adaptive triggers 😔
Was this a plus title back in the day or am i imagining that?
Well at least this basically confirms the story will continue from 3, it would be really hard to continue from being the president with super powers 🙂
Things are looking quite abysmal now aren't they. I look forward to the days when Remasters are a thing of the past and we start getting new games again rather than old games most if not all of us have played already.
I would be excited about this if it was a complete remake for the ps5. I am not too thrilled about remasters. Although I am loving the Mass Effect remaster. But I just love Mass Effect.
@Weebleman
You are thinking of Saints Row 4.
Not this one
@Netret0120 ahhhh, i knew one had popped onto plus. Cheers pal
I love SR3 but not the remaster and it was due to how different the main character looked in comparison to her counterpart in the original. Something was just .... Off. Been playing the original port on the Switch.
@LTPenguin I can definitely see that point of view from the publishers, but keep in mind there’s more PS5’s out in the wild than the PS4 during its launch and I didn’t see the same type of support for PS3
I'm happy. I ordered the PS4 version thanks to that. I would like a PS5 disc version, but even though, really nice.
Who asked for this
All these remasters are just boring. This one seems particularly pointless.
So much for backwards compatibility finally making these companies pull their fingers out & ease up on this rubbish....its worse than ever🤨
@Ichiban Facts ; the grimy and apathetic game industry capitalized hard on last gen consoles not having true backwards compatibility , and crapped out remasters for a quick buck . I don't get how anyone can be optimistic about 9th gen with all the BS from last gen.
and what's sad is , most of the remasters aren't even games from the PS2 & back , its PS3 games that legitimately don't need one. Trash.
With that being said though , SR3 is the best Saints Row so that's good at least. The series found its groove with 3 , and that's when the stigma of the franchise being seen as a ''GTA-clone'' stopped .
What's wrong here?!? It is even free with the PS4 version. More games and more selection is always good. The Remastered stuff and cross Gen will get down in the next year, I believe.
Remember the PS4s first year? It was the same. The PS5 is such a great system. Sony delivered several exklusive AAA titles in 6 months and still people are crying.
@Nintendo4Sonic i guess remasters of decade old games over and over again is a good thing . screw sequels and new things .
@nomither6 that's not, what I was saying, troll.
Demons Souls, Sackboy, Bugsnax, Destruction All Stars, Returnal, Oddworld Soulstrom, Maneater, Spidey Remastered/Miles Morales since launch and Ratchet next month...
WhErE aRe AlL tHe GaMeS?
@glassmusic Same here haha. I started to play it on PS3 but got distracted and stopped.
So happy PS4 owners are getting free upgrades, wish Rockstar and Take-Two would do the same with GTA.
No Problemo here I have enjoyed all the Saint's Row games. I do Hope we see a new one on PS5 at some point.
Just show the next game already ! I'll even take a wallpaper of the next SR game. I blame Covid19 , it messed up so much stuff.
