In last month’s Fall update, Saints Row developer Volition explained that they were prioritizing fixes over new content for the rebooted open-world mayhem game. There was a hotfix for , but the first big update is scheduled for late November.Moreover patch hub (opens in new tab)Volition says the exact content of the November update is “pretty good with over 200 fixes and quality of life updates.”
“You should see more pedestrians and police,” Volition says. Santo Ileso wasn’t very busy at launch, so this is a clear improvement. Also, if there aren’t many people on the streets, it’s less likely to cause havoc when you get into a stolen police car. As for cars, there are “lots of new ways to manage your incredible fleet, including more slots to use and he seven new garage locations.”

Among other changes, combat encounters have been rebalanced to be “more fun and more rewarding to progress on”, notoriety levels are now easier to escape, and collectibles are easier to find. Collections that are discovered but not properly tracked are marked as retroactively discovered. Also, completed challenges will be marked as completed as well if they are not already completed.
One thing the Saints Row reboot got right was its customization, giving you plenty of options for how your bosses look and dress. However, one feature he added in Saints Row 4 was missing. It’s a slider for changing the pitch of the character’s voice. That slider will be back in his November update.
Finally, haptic weapon feedback for the PS5 DualSense controller and “many more improvements based on your feedback” are on the list. Hopefully the fall update will include something like “reducing the repetition of some activities” that was mentioned. It was just how boring many of these open world activities were. You have to carefully drive a truck full of toxic waste through the city and it quickly becomes boring.
The November update has been “completed, tested and sent” and should be online by the end of the month.
