Saints Row unfortunately got off to a poor start when it launched back in August, with our review here at Pure Xbox calling it a "truly disappointing return for the Saints", but developer Deep Silver Volition has confirmed that it's committed to providing long-term support for the game.
In an Autumn Update, the team explained that there are some major plans in the works, with the November update set to feature over 200 bug fixes and stability upgrades, and it'll also include quality of life changes and new features:
"This update will include many requested improvements including reducing repetition in some activities, making challenges more rewarding, improving vehicle management, a revamp of rumble and haptic features, and more.
But the quality of life improvements in this update are just the tip of the iceberg. These are wins we feel we can get to you quickly while we work on even bigger and better improvements based on your feedback."
Looking ahead to 2023, Volition will be incorporating all-new story content for expansions, free new gameplay experiences, bigger quality of life updates, free packs and more.
Positive news, then — here's hoping Saints Row can become a much better game next year!
"We plan on supporting Saints Row for the long-term. 2023 will be a hugely exciting year for Saints Row owners with a raft of content, including all-new story content (included in the Expansion Pass, but will also be available to buy separately) and free new gameplay experiences and areas of the city to explore.
All this will of course will land aside even bigger quality of life updates, more free packs and more stuff we’re not quite ready to talk about yet. Please stay tuned for regular updates on our progress and letting you know what’s new with Saints Row."

this game have way too many issues i wish them good luck.
Ah yes. The popular, modern, approach to games.
Release the worst product possible and promise to fix it later.
Fix it, and then we will meet on Gamepass.
It’s dead, Jim. Game sucks move on
An unbought house with a rotten foundation can't be fixed with better windows and siding.
I'm a big fan of the earlier games but waited for a review of this one, consequently I did not buy it.
I really hope they can turn this around.
@InterceptorAlpha yup and the players paying a premium when buying the game early to be QA testers.
That’s going to be hard to achieve, they basically need a patch that replaces most of the game.
I'm happy to see them be committed to improving this game.
Probably gonna buy it for $5 in one or two years, play it, get bored and not finish it.
What do you know, it’s almost like all of those criticisms and worry from their community, that they promptly told to ***** off, we’re right.
So the game is still in alpha??
Drop the price to under £10 now and maybe il still be inclined to buy it...but yeah I can't see this being a game il ever even try playing now giving the awful things I've heard
Too little to late, the damage to the brand is done
I mean actually implementing fps caps for stable fps would be a start.
“We know there’s still work to do” but let’s decide to release the game anyways which people have to pay money for when it’s not good enough.
Are they upgrading the cast, dialogue, art style, and scenarios? It definitely needs a patch.
@BartoxAbrasiveness Matrick really was ahead of the times, wasn't he?
