Saints Row's Price Appears To Have Been Permanently Slashed On Xbox

It's not very often that you see AAA games from recent years getting permanent price drops on the Xbox Store, but that appears to be the case today with Saints Row. This morning, we noticed the standard version of the 2022 game getting a 50% discount, and the Gold Edition going even further with a 56% discount.

This brings the standard Xbox price down to £29.99 / $29.99, and £39.99 / $39.99 for the Gold Edition.

Obviously we've seen the 2022 reboot of Saints Row drop to lower prices than this before as part of various Xbox sales, but it's just very rare for recent AAA games to slash their prices permanently on the digital Xbox store.

It makes more sense when you consider that Saints Row sadly wasn't received very well at all back in 2022 (we gave it a "Poor" 4/10 at the time), and developer Volition ultimately ended up being shut down by Embracer Group back in September. It's hard to look at this one as anything other than a disappointment, despite Volition's best attempts to revive the project with numerous post-launch updates over the course of twelve months.
