You Can Get the Original Saints Row Games for Next to Nothing Right Now

Two classic games from the Saints Row franchise are currently available for a very low price on the Xbox Store. The Saints Row games began on the seventh generation of consoles such as the Xbox 360. While most would consider many games from that era as lost treasures, the Series X and Series S surprisingly offer a chance to play some select older titles. Some backwards compatible gems even go as far back as the original Xbox.
With seven games set in the Saints Row universe, it might be hard for fans to pick their favorites. Some players claim that the newest entry in the franchise doesn't quite hold up to the experience provided by the original games. Many fans state that the mix of fun gameplay and a more laid back, comedic take on the series was what made the older titles unique, garnering a cult following, as well as standing out as not being just another lazy Grand Theft Auto clone.
Fans of Saints Row 2 and the original Saints Row can pick up the games on the Microsoft Store for only $1.49 each, which is down from its original price of $9.99. While the series is mostly known for the latter Saints Row games, it was the second entry in the franchise which refined the formula and made it an iconic name. The first Saints Row stood as a serious competitor of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, with a customizable main character. The sequel built upon that engine, as Saints Row 2 became known as one of the best open-world comedy and parody games. The wild direction that the title took in its second outing made it one of the most memorable titles to come out in its time.
Saints Row — $1.49 (from $9.99)
Saints Row 2 — $1.49 (from $9.99)
Saints Row The Third — $2.24 (from $14.99)
Saints Row The Third: Remastered — $7.99 (from $39.99)
Saints Row IV: Re-Elected — $3.99 (from $19.99)
Saints Row (2022) — $8.99 (from $29.99)
While the latest entry in the franchise was released in 2022, the Saints Row reboot did not live up to the expectations of fans craving for the nostalgic action that made the originals so popular. Many gamers noted that, while the visuals may have improved, and some quality-of-life changes were introduced, it just didn't give the same feeling that the other games had. Quite a number of fans had negative reviews when that game came out.
Many gamers continue to wish that the older Saints Row titles could be remastered in the future, especially since Saints Row: The Third had a remastered release in 2020. Sadly, Volition's unexpected closure makes that an unsure dream that would probably take some time before it can come to fruition. Fortunately, the availability of these games on Xbox Series X/S at least allows nostalgic fans to experience the craziness of the previous games in the franchise. With an
