As detailed by Volition last week, a huge Saints Row patch is now live on PS5 and PS4 along with the game's first major piece of DLC. Named The Heist & The Hazardous, it adds three new story missions in the district of Sunshine Springs, which itself adds more activities and shops for all players for free. The expansion costs £7.99/$9.99, and also bundles in 18 new outfits and cosmetic items, four more wingsuit designs, and a few new vehicles and weapons.
The trailer above teases what to expect from the DLC, and then the PS Store listing provides a quick synopsis: "When obnoxious movie star Chris Hardy double-crosses the Boss on a successful assassination hit, the Saints take sweet revenge with a swaggering, stylish, black-tie heist." If you own the Expansion Pass for Saints Row, then you're free to download the DLC without charge on PS5, PS4.
We enjoyed the game when it launched last year, awarding it a respectable 7/10 in our Saints Row PS5 review. Since then, though, Volition has committed to updating and upgrading the open worlder with more things to do as well as fix problems under the hood. With this being the title's biggest refresh yet, it may be worth your time now. "Saints Row is a largely successful reboot, even if it sometimes feels dangerously outdated in terms of open world design."

I have the collector's edition, so this is free for me. 😎
@BeerIsAwesome but you paid more for it already 😎
I care just enough to come here and talk about how the base game looks so unnapealling by nature and this dlc trailer did nothing to change that.
£7.99? Does that include the base game? 😉
So disappointed that I bought this game…. 💩
A GTA-like game with heists. How original!
I'll definitely pick this up with all DLC when it's cheap looks like good fun!
@Ravix Stop using logic and common sense! 😭
@Loamy dont even buy in the cheap, its not worth your time, unless you like ps3 gfx and seriously outdated humour
@Uromastryx Noted. While I do like both of those things I'd say it's a little hyperbolic to say this has PS3 graphics.
@Loamy It's not that hyperbolic, the graphics are on the level Saints Row 3 at best.
I'm sorry?!?!? You what?! You gave it 7/10?!
Jesus guys....
This is what gives the games media a bad name.
As per Nightcrawlers joke, yeah if it was the GOTY edition with the full game AND the DLC, and was £/$7.99, I'd still have to sit down and think long and hard about it!
I can get a Mac D breakfast for that price and I know which I'd prefer!
@BeerIsAwesome I'm so sorry.
@Nepp67 SR3 on PS4 maybe. Even then I'd say it looks better than that. They obviously aren't great though for a PS5 release.
@Loamy it's not even a joke man the game looks pure garbage, no two ways about, then add clunky controls, weird lean your character dies when turning, driving - awful, gun sounds awful, quests awful, map flooded with pointless Poi's the list is endless man. I'm trying to save you !!
And this websites score of 7/10 they must have been drunk which I guess might have made it slightly funny.
@Uromastryx Fair enough. It's not one that's high up on my list but if it's ever a tenner or under I'd like to give it a try. If it's a bad as you say then it'll still be an experience 😂
$10 is a very fair price for the first DLC pack.
@Stormageddon No, you're right. The game and season pass I paid for, but the packaging and contents of the packaging were all bundled in for free. Besides, everybody who uses Game Pass says their games are all free, so I just figured free has a far looser definition these days. 🤔
@Shrek_Realista Why? I've enjoyed this game.
