Saints Row fans will be getting a major update in November that will reportedly fix 200 bugs and includes stability upgrades.
Saints Row is the open-world action-adventure many were looking forward to. Unfortunately, the game was ultimately met with lukewarm reviews.
As part of Volition’s ongoing development efforts, fixes and improvements based on player feedback are being made to the gameplay experience.
They have been hard at work working on many bug fixes for the game and will release the first update in late November. This update will include 200 bug fixes.
Volition has said that it has put “significant effort and testing” into the game’s co-op. The developer also mentioned that connectivity, map issues, and rewards should all work more smoothly after this upcoming patch.
They stated in their blog post:
“We are supporting Saints Row for the long-term, and while we’d have preferred to be talking about roadmaps and expansions, right now we feel the focus must be on telling you how we’re going to improve the Saints Row experience for all players in 2022 and beyond.”
Volition also mentioned how they are focusing on “delivering improvements over new features”.
Stating:
“We’re especially aware of issues some players have been having with co-op and we’re sorry these fixes have taken longer than expected while we apply and test them thoroughly. Separately, we know that the game doesn’t always clearly explain how and when the co-op is possible, so we are working on this too.”
Along with these changes, the developer will reportedly be working on a series of QOL changes and new features for the core game.
They will include many of the desired updates with this one. Such as changes to the rumble and haptic features, and fewer repetitive activities. More rewarding challenges, better vehicle management, and more.
They didn’t mention any more about the updates. But they did mention Free cosmetic packs that they will be releasing and have already released the first of the series. These will be FREE if you own the game “ all you have to do is go to your relevant platform store and download it.”
Lastly, they mentioned that 2023 will be a big year for Saints Row. They said they have a lot planned for next year regarding the game.
The expectations for the game outweighed what fans actually got. But it seems Volition has plans on how they are going to fix and improve the game.
