Get ready to rock the foundations of a larger than life criminal world that feeds all your guilty pleasures. Become a self-made crime boss and crush it as you take over the city. It's our time now, let’s get this party started.

Saints Row is set in Santo Ileso, a vibrant fictional city in the heart of the American Southwest. In a world rife with crime, where lawless factions fight for power, a group of young friends embark on their own criminal venture as they rise to the top in their bid to become Self Made.

As the future Boss, with Neenah, Kevin, and Eli by your side, you’ll form The Saints, and take on Los Panteros, The Idols, and Marshall Defense Technologies as you build your empire across the streets of Santo Ileso and battle for control of the city. Ultimately, Saints Row is the story of a start-up company. It’s just that the business The Saints are in happens to be crime. 

Experience the biggest and best Saints Row playground ever created. The unique sprawling world of Santo Ileso is the backdrop for a wild, larger-than-life sandbox of thrilling side hustles, criminal ventures and blockbuster missions, as you shoot, drive, and wingsuit your way to the top.

Express yourself and unleash your inner Saint with the most advanced suite of customization tools yet seen in an open-world game – make your character, your car, and your crew your own.

Dive into epic gunfights and high-speed chases and witness outrageous only-in-Saints Row moments in an original story that charts the Saints’ remarkable rise to power. Enjoy the freedom of playing the entire campaign with a friend through seamless untethered co-op play, where you can both push the limits of your gang and create your own gameplay moments together. 


Deep Silver and Volition unveiled that Santo Ileso is set to get bigger and better with three major releases for Expansion Pass holders over coming months, and two free new districts, three more quality of life updates and a Dead Island 2 inspired cosmetic pack for all players.

Leading the charge is the free Dead Island 2 Pack on April 11th. HELL-A meets the Weird West in this free content inspired by Deep Silver’s forthcoming zombie slay-‘em up. Players can dress their boss with items from reckless antihero Jacob or quick-witted athlete Amy. They can also apply shock and awe with a new weapon, stagger with swagger with a new emote, and evoke bitey beachside memories with an iconic pink flamingo hat and Carver the Shark statue for their HQ.

After this, the game’s biggest free update is scheduled for May with Sunshine Springs, a brand-new district being added to Santo Ileso, alongside a swathe of quality of life changes (such as overhauled combat, Selfie Mode and more) and improvements. On the same day, Expansion Pass holders get The Heist & The Hazardous, three new story missions set in Sunshine Springs as the Saints take on an ambitious heist as payback for being double-crossed by a famous actor…

The second Expansion Pass content hits in July; Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus, a new solo game mode that we will leave up to your imagination – for now. Plus, this will also add another free quality of life upgrade and new features being added.

Finally, August sees the release of the third, final and largest pack for the Expansion Pass. Keep an eye on our social channels for more news on this closer to the date. August will also see a second new district expansion and quality of life update that is free for all players.

All Expansion Pass packs will also be available to purchase separately. Check your preferred platform store holder for local prices.
