Saints Row IV only has two different editions available at launch, but that doesn't mean snapping up the open-world sequel for a low price is an easy proposition.
In this detailed buyer's guide tailoured to retailers in the UK, we examine each edition, which retailers are offering the best deals and what pre-order bonuses are actually worth your hard earned pounds.
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
You must not have heard about our Saints Row IV exclusive signed preorders then. Anyone who preorders Saints Row IV from That Game Shop will get their copy signed by Hollywood Actor Arif Kinchen who plays Pierce Washington in the game. This is restricted to the UK/EU market as the game will be PAL format.
