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...

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...
News Have a Gander at Saints Row's Santa Ileso
Los Sandbox
Presenting unpolished pre-alpha footage of a game already under intense scrutiny like Saints Row probably isn’t the best idea, but here it is anyway. As part of its cover story coverage, Deep Silver has provided Game Informer with a couple of minutes of open world footage from the upcoming open worlder – presented without commentary,...
Poll What Do You Think of the New Saints Row?
Saints assemble
One of the biggest stories of the past week has involved Saints Row. The sandbox series is returning in February next year, with a brand new game having been announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2021. This thing's a full reboot: different characters, a new setting, and no obvious ties to the old Saints Row games. It's a fresh...
News Saints Row Deep Dive Seeks to Allay PS5, PS4 Reboot Concerns
Tons of new gameplay snippets
For some reason, Saints Row is the latest in a long-line of unlucky games to attract an outrageously negative reaction. Volition said earlier today that it’s “not backing down”, and has now released a new deep dive video that digs into more details about the reboot. Fortunately, this one has been met with a...

News The New Saints Row Still Has Character Creation
You're the Boss
The all-new, rebooted Saints Row has just been revealed, and we already know what a lot of fans are going to be asking: can you still make your own custom character? The announcement trailer doesn't reference character customisation at all, opting to show a default female 'Boss' with a rather regular clothing style and short hair...
News New Saints Row Game Is a Total Reboot on PS5, PS4 in February 2022
Welcome to Santo Ileso
Saints Row is back, and it's been totally rebooted. The new game takes place in a fictional American Southwest city called Santo Ileso, with an entirely new cast of characters. To be clear, this is still very much a Saints Row game; expect open world hijinks, run-and-gun combat, and plenty of daft side activities. The title's...
First Impressions Rebooted Saints Row Has a New Look, But It's Still Saints Row Under the Hood
Don't mess with the Saints
The new Saints Row game has just been announced, and as you may already know, it's a complete reboot. Different characters, a different setting — the lot. But despite this rebirth, the gameplay that we've seen suggests that this is still Saints Row, in all of its goofy glory. Now, we're not talking Saints Row IV here —...

It appears a PlayStation 5 version of Saints Row The Third Remastered is on the cards as Exophase has listed a Trophy list overnight for a native edition of the game on Sony's latest console. Featuring the exact same number of Trophies as well as replicated descriptions and requirements as the PS4 version, this current-gen...
That one was for you, Johnny
Hearing Troy Baker shout "get the **** out of here!" as you punch a policeman square in his privates is still pretty funny. In fact, Saints Row The Third in general is still pretty funny — at least, some of the time. The game's almost nine years old, yet Saints Row The Third Remastered is a welcome reminder of just how...
News Yes, Saints Row 5 Is Still In Development
Just to confirm
Saints Row The Third is coming to PlayStation 4 next month by way of a remaster, but that doesn't mean the series' next instalment has been put on hold. As previously reported, Saints Row 5 (or whatever it ends up being called) is happening, and the official Twitter account has reiterated that, yes, the game is still in development...
News Saints Row The Third Remastered Brings Dumb Fun to PS4 in May
The boys are back in town
Saints Row The Third Remastered is official, and it's coming to PlayStation 4 next month, on the 22nd May. The third game in Volition's sandbox series is where it really started to embrace stupidity (in a good way, as far as we're concerned). It's not as completely batsh*t insane as Saints Row IV, but it's still mental...
News New Saints Row Game to Be Revealed in 2020
"Saints Row is very close to our hearts"
We've known since August that a new Saints Row game is in development. It's been a long, long time since the chaotic open world series last graced us with a new entry.

It has been confirmed that Volition is now "deep in development" of an all-new entry in the franchise. As announced in THQ Nordic's latest...

Gat a load of this
Remember that crumby, cancelled Saints Row game for the PSP? Well, you can play it now. Volition has released the unfinished .iso file online, allowing you to test out the unreleased title for free. This is a pretty unprecedented move, so kudos to the developer for getting the game out into the public domain. We've no idea how...
News Saints Row Undercover Almost Took a Dump on PSP
Volition unearths forgotten project
There are already a handful of canned Saints Row projects that have leaked over the years, but Saints Row Undercover – a PlayStation Portable spin-off of Saints Row 2 – was forgotten by practically everyone.

News Oh Dear, The Uncensored Version of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected Is Being Recalled in Australia
Whoops
Who would ever deny the Saints of their fun, eh? Calling it a "serious manufacturing issue", an Australian agency has explained the recall of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected on the PlayStation 4, after it was discovered that the release was "incorrectly classified". As you may know, censorship policies in the land down under can be rather strict,...
News Saints Row Parodies Top Gear and the Result Is Just as Stupid as You'd Expect
Gun it
Just when you thought that Saints Row couldn't get any more unpredictable, it goes and parodies Top Gear, complete with Jeremy Clarkson-like commentary and a faceless racer known as the Stag. The four minute live action video ties into the recently released Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell expansion, as the, er, Stag takes the Armchair-A-Geddon...
News Nu-Metal Band Korn Would Have Been All Over This Cancelled Saints Row Game
Freak on a leash
Saints Row is no stranger to cancelled games, as regular readers may recall the PlayStation Move-based brawler that was revealed recently. However, this footage from Saints Row: Money Shot is a first for us, as it shows a free-to-play arcade game that was once in production for the PlayStation 3 – an
Round Up Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell PS4 Reviews Rise Through the Fire and Flames
Rubber Johnny
There's been much ado about review code here at Push Square Towers of late, as our copy of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell – and, consequently, bundled remaster Saints Row IV: Re-Elected – has seemingly got lost in the post. This means that we've, sadly, been unable to deliver on our New Year's Resolution of improving the timeliness of...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell's Launch Trailer Is Even More Ridiculous Than We Imagined
Fly Johnny, fly
Saints Row IV was an utterly ridiculous experience, and developer Volition seems keen to carry that tone through the series' upcoming expansion, Gat Out of Hell. Of course, we knew that already, but the standalone DLC's launch trailer still managed to surprise us. The video's full of dumb, crass humour and stupid selling points, but...
News Score Your Own Ouija Board with Saints Row IV: Gat Out of Hell on PS4
You've Gat to see this
If you thought that Ouija Boards were solely reserved for raising the dead and providing bad teen slashers with some semblance of plot, then you probably wouldn't get a job in Deep Silver's marketing division. The firm has announced that it's teamed up with uber-retailer GAME in the UK in order to giveaway Wee-Ja Boards with...
News Saints Row Gats Out of Hell a Little Earlier Than Anticipated on PS4, PS3
Hell froze over
As someone that wanted to record a concept album on the seven deadly sins [Don’t ask – Ed], we’re glad that a studio with actual talent is tackling the idea. Saints Row IV’s upcoming expansion, Gat Out of Hell, will boast seven firearms straight out of Satan’s weapon closet – and the brand new trailer embedded below gives...
News There Was Almost a Saints Row Brawler for PlayStation Move
Enter the dominatrix
In many ways, the PlayStation Move seems like a perfect controller for the Saints Row series – after all, the ill-fated motion wand already resembles a great big vibrating... Seriously, though, Unseen64.net has unearthed a bunch of information on Saints Row: The Cooler,
News Saints Row IV and All of Its DLC Gets Re-Elected on PS4 Next Year
We should have known
We were busy typing away about the rather surprising reveal of Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, when suddenly, developer Volition decided to throw a slightly less shocking announcement our way.

News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is Coming to PS4, and It's, Er, a Standalone Expansion Pack
Gone when the morning comes
Well, we didn't see that one coming.

News Saints Row Dances with the Devil Ahead of Sequel Reveal
Playing with the dead
The 3rd Street Saints appear to be playing games with the dead, if a teaser image from the next title is to be believed. Sent out as both a minimalistic press release and as a Twitter post, the above image appears to show a Ouija board embellished with the Saints Row logo. Considering that the next entry in the zany series is...
News Saints Row's Stupidity Will Almost Certainly Return on PS4
Loud and proud
Since the success of Saints Row IV on the PlayStation 3, developer Volition has been a little secretive. There were rumours coming out of E3 2014 that publisher Deep Silver was about to announce a new entry in the stupid sandbox series, but that turned out to be the equally ridiculous Dead Island 2. Alas, the aforementioned outfit...
