When can fans preload Saints Row (2022)?

The game is set to launch on August 23, 2022 at midnight. However, Xbox owners can rejoice as the preload for Saint Row (2022) is available to download in advance on Microsoft's platforms right now. PlayStation fans, meanwhile, will be able to download it two days before the launch date.

Since the game is only available on PC via the Epic Games Launcher, PC users will not be able to preload the game, as Epic's digital storefront does not have that feature.

Instead of twiddling their thumbs, PC players can check out the Saints Row: Boss Factory character creator. The character creator allows for the customization of the player avatar (known as the Boss) beforehand. By doing so, gamers can import their Boss at launch and dive into the action right away.

The Boss Factory character creator is available to download for free across all platforms. Saints Row (2022) launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
