Saints Row will be coming to Steam this summer - wishlist now and follow this steam page for the latest news and updates https://store.steampowered.com/app/742420/Saints_Row/ To celebrate the occasion we have a Daily Deal running on all games in the Saints Row series starting now. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44256850/55a4c0fa75b337bf6a682f3a29bf3fd241b14f9c.jpg

As we mentioned last week, crossplay is now live for Saints Row IV: Re-Elected across Steam, Epic and GOG Windows users! Your game should automatically upgrade to the Re-Elected version from whichever version you owned previously if you are on Windows, meaning if you didn’t already have all the DLC for the game – now you do! We will update you all here when we have more news on the Linux version of this update. Have fun in Steelport, Saints! FAQ Does this include Gat Out of Hell? No, Saints Row Gat Out of Hell was a separate release, it was included in a double pack with SRIV: Re-Elected once but this is not the standard release. I am in AUS – why can’t I play with my friend in another country? Saints Row IV: Re-Elected has different content due to ratings in AUS, so you can only play with others on the same version as you. Is there a way I can stop the upgrade and keep my version of Saints Row IV as it is? You can disable auto-update on GOG Galaxy if you have the game currently installed. (Cogwheel > Settings > Game features > Untick 'Auto-update games') A Legacy Version of Saints Row IV will be also be available via a separate Beta Branch on GOG and Steam. To access the old version of Saints Row IV, right click on the game in your library, go to properties > beta and use the dropdown menu to select the version you want. for more help with this: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/276C-85A0-C531-AFA3 However the differences between old and new versions will be minimal, and save games will be compatible. When will the Linux players get their upgrade? We will update the community when we have a locked in date for this. Can Linux players crossplay now or do they have to wait? Official support will come for Linux later – we will let you know when this is going to be available. Will Mods be affected? Mods should not be affected, and should work as normal aside from any special cases where elements of the mod may clash with the code of the game.

We are pleased to let you know that on December 8th we will be upgrading all copies of Saints Row IV to Saints Row IV: Re-Elected. This includes Saints Row IV: Game of The Century Edition. This means that players who own Saints Row IV in any capacity will be automatically upgraded to Saints Row IV: Re-Elected and therefore will have access to the included DLC packs:

Mission DLC:

· Enter the Dominatrix · How the Saints save Christmas

Outfit and Weapon DLC:

· Anime Pack · Bling Bling Pack · Brady Games Pack · Child's Play Pack (PC only and sold for charity) · College Daze Pack · Commander-in-Chief Pack · Dubstep Remix Pack · Element of Destruction Pack · Game On Pack · Gamestop Weapon Contest Pack · GAT V Pack · Grass Roots Pack · Hey Ash Whatcha Playin? Pack · Pirate's Booty Pack · Presidential Pack · Reverse Cosplay Pack · Stone Age Pack · Thank You Pack · The Rectifier · The Super Saints Pack · Volition Comics Pack · Wild West Pack · Zinyak Attack Pack · Executive Privilege Pack All other versions and separate DLC will be removed from sale as of December 8th and will no longer be useable. All of your saves and achievements will be moved over so you can still play as you always have. Mods should not be affected. This change will go live for Windows players on December 8 and later for Linux players. Along side this update we are thrilled to let you know that crossplay on PC will become available with players on Epic Games and GOG, so you can create mayhem with a friend on another launcher! So go forth Saints, and paint Steelport Purple.

The My Steelport server is being closed from January 31st. This means character and screenshot sharing services in Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV will no longer be available after that date. The decision to switch off the servers was difficult for us and not taken lightly. We want our fans to enjoy our work for as long as possible. However more than 4 years after Saints Row IV released, we have experienced a significant reduction in the numbers of players using these services. We believe our resources are now better spent on preparing for the future! We'd like to thank everyone who has used and enjoyed the content sharing and community features on the official site for their support.

The Saints Row series is all about the freedom to play how you want, and we're now taking that one step further with Steam Workshop support for Saints Row IV PC! It's never been easier to create and install mods that add new weapons and clothing, run custom scripts, and change gameplay values. Head over to the Saints Row IV community hub in your Steam client, click the Workshop tab, and start browsing. It's just that easy! To celebrate, Saints Row IV PC is on sale for 75% off on Steam all this week and next! http://store.steampowered.com/app/206420/ There were many challenges in implementing Steam Workshop support since the game was not originally designed to support modding. A handful of dedicated Volition devs worked on this in their free time to update the engine and remove memory restrictions, as well as finding a way for individual mods to interact and work correctly with each other without the need for running special tools. It was all a labor of love for our fans, and we're incredibly excited to see the crazy content you come up with! One last extra special thanks to the modding community at http://saintsrowmods.com who worked with us on creating and improving the tools, along with all the testing and feedback over the last few years. We couldn't have done it without you! * Please note that only the Windows version of Saints Row IV PC is currently compatible with Workshop. We hope to announce Linux support soon.

Patch Notes: - Fix for a jumping bug where the player would not be able to lower in elevation if they die right before a jump. - Fix for a crash when scrolling on the Controls menu - Players may no longer dismiss Kinzie as a homie during her Loyalty Mission. - Clients may now get credit for throwing CID in mission: Sins of the Past - Saints Row IV has been updated to Steam API 1.23a - For players experiencing flickering issues when using a gamepad, we have added a new option in the display.ini called: “UIControllerStyle”. This can lock the display to only show gamepad inputs or only show keyboard/mouse inputs throughout play. For the new option to be seen in to the display.ini file: load the game, open the display options menu, and then exit the display options menu. UIControllerStyle = 0 will result in default behavior. The game will automatically switch between kb/m and gamepad displays. UIControllerStyle = 1 will lock the UI to kb/m displays. You will never see (A), or (LB), or anything like that, it’s always kb/m. UIControllerStyle = 2 will lock the UI to gamepad displays. You will never see any keyboard keys, or even the mouse cursor. If the UIControllerStyle option is omitted, it will default to 0 (auto-switching behavior). - Added support for future DLC - Added Japanese text support
