• Saints Row sales reached 2 million units.
• Saints Row 2 sales reached 3.4 million units.
• Saints Row: The Third sales reached 5.5 million units.
• Saints Row IV sales reached 1 million units at launch.

It is no secret that Saints Row is one of the most popular open-world RPG series out there, and while the sales of the game are not even comparable to the sales of the game from which Saints Row supposedly “copied” everything — GTA V, its performance on the market has still been excellent, and we can expect the reboot to gain more and more sales as time goes on.

The Saints Row series revenue on Steam exceeded $90.1 million.

• Saints Row 2 grossed $7.5 million.
• Saints Row The Third Remastered grossed $1.5 million.
• Saints Row IV grossed $68.5 million.
• Saints Row: Gat out of Hell grossed $8.7 million.
• Agents of Mayhem grossed $3.9 million.

Deep Silver is not known for providing accurate sales stats for their games, so few companies do, anyway. However, from the statistics that we can gather from Steam sales, we can see that the Saints Row series has accumulated a tremendous amount of money on a single platform, and we can only imagine what the revenue looks like for other platforms as well.

The Saints Row reboot sales did not meet expectations.

• The game cost over $100 million to make.
• Embracer had to re-evaluate its policies regarding its new games and the principles that go behind greenlighting the same games.
• Efficiency is paramount now as they had to increase their efficiency and they have claimed that each of their projects has to earn its right to exist.
• While Saints Row was not the only game to be problematic when it comes to sales and performance, it is one of the main games to have this issue.
• The CEOs of Embracer Group were notably disappointed with the performance of the game, largely because GTA V, released in 2013, beat it out of the water.

This is something that tends to happen with newer games from 2018 onward, especially in 2023, the games that come out seem to be completely unfinished, unpolished, buggy, and just not enjoyable to play. While this wasn’t true completely for the Saints Row reboot, it still came with its own line of issues that made it not that enjoyable to play.

The Saints Row reboot had 1 million players within 2 months of its release.

• This was in spite of the mixed reviews that the game received during its release.
• As soon as it was released, Deep Silver stated that they would release hotfixes shortly.
• 2023 will also include a lot of additional content that will likely attract more players to the game.

The hype surrounding the Saints Row reboot was more than justified as the series has acquired a cult-like following since the first game was released, and we can expect the game to get more and more players as time goes on, as milestones will be crossed and Deep Silver will want to make sure they’re on top of notifying their audience.

The Saints Row reboot had 3.3 million hours watched on Twitch in 2022.

And finally, we have some general Twitch statistics concerning the Saints Row reboot and how it has been performing on the platform. As we can see, Saints Row performed quite well considering the issues it came with and the general consensus has been that the game is fine to play and quite enjoyable to watch, as long as you’re a fan of the genre.

To sum up

And that concludes our short walk through the realm of the Saints Row series! As you can see, the tabloids and news that surround the series are sometimes just as insane as the storylines and gameplay dynamics of the games themselves. Other than that, Saints Row has had a long and prosperous lifetime in the gaming market that shouldn’t be slowing down any time soon. We sincerely hope that your questions have been answered and that you found what you were looking for!
