For a few days now, since August 23, the Saints Row reboot has finally been available for sale! Moreover, the first results have just come in, and it is a success.
Saints Row goes beyond the Horizon
Even though Saints Row is far from recording the best Metacritic of the year – the PlayStation 5 version of the game leaves with a 63 out of 100 and a user score of 3.1 –, the production launched last Tuesday is posting nice results on British territory. In effect, despite a 120% increase in sales for Horizon: Forbidden West which, as a reminder, is included in a bundled offer bringing together a PlayStation 5 and the game, Saints Row is on the top step of the bestseller podium for the week of August 22. Note that this nice score only concerns the physical version of the title.
In second place, therefore, we find Horizon: Forbidden West which, before the arrival of Saints Row, had not left the first step for three weeks. Then it’s Nintendo’s turn to monopolize the Top 10 with Nintendo Switch Sports in third place, but also Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokémon Legends: Arceus and the Switch version of Minecraft. And finally, we obviously find the unbeatable GTA V which is, this time, installed in ninth place, just behind Gran Turismo 7 and in front of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Saints Row, an update finally available
Finally, note that Saints Row got its very first update. The latter has recently been available and corrects some visual bugs and temporarily removes certain features such as the adaptive triggers on PlayStation 5 which reversed the controls once activated.
We have made the decision to disable adaptive triggers while we fix the issue of the axis flipped when activating the “resistance” option. We intend to put everything back in place, stay tuned for updates on this. Volition
