Saints Row is the upcoming sandbox game from Deep Silver and Volition that will return to the classic open world formula the series is known for.

The game is being released on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox series X/S and PC and fans can expect to create their own avatar character, “The Boss”, as they put together a criminal enterprise known as the “Saints”.

In our hands-on preview of Saints Row, we said: “After seven years away, it looks like Saints Row is finally back, but the question is how much of that classic formula has changed?

“It’s safe to say that longtime fans will find plenty to love in those early hours, but sandbox games have come a long way since 2015. While reining in the absurdity will appeal to the series’s roots, Saints Row will still have a lot to prove in the face of overwhelming competition.”

To find out where to get the best deals on the sandbox game on your platform of choice ahead of its release on 23 August, as well as what’s included in each edition, keep reading the rest of the article below.
