Saints Row Drops on Epic Games Store Free for 24-Hours

Epic Games has once again treated gamers to an unexpected delight by unleashing the adrenaline-fueled thrill ride of Saints Row for absolutely zero cost on their Epic Games Store. But hold onto your controllers, as this offer lasts just 24 hours! Once claimed, this open-world action adventure becomes a permanent fixture in your gaming arsenal without shelling out a single dollar.

However, this gift comes with an expiration date! After the grace period, the price reverts back to its standard tag of $29.99, so swift action is paramount.

Saints Row brings a high-octane experience, but hold your horses – not all bells and whistles are included in this free bonanza. The paid DLCs like 'A Song of Ice & Dust,' 'Doc Ketchum's Murder Circus,' 'The Heist & The Hazardous,' and more won't be part of this giveaway, although most are now generously slashed by 50%.

But amidst the excitement looms a bittersweet cloud: Volition, the developer behind this gaming marvel, faced closure as part of Embracer's contentious mass layoffs, a hotly debated issue of 2023. Yet, the Saints Row legacy perseveres under Plaion's umbrella, ensuring that many more can revel in Volition's final labor of love.

The Epic Games Store doesn't stop here with the holiday cheer! With a whopping 17 free games lined up for their Holiday sale celebration, previous offerings such as Destiny 2 Legacy Collection, DNF Duel, Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition, Ghostwire Tokyo, Cat Quest, Snakebird Complete, and more have graced gamers' libraries.

Originally launched on August 23, 2022, across multiple platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Stadia, Saints Row marked a fresh start for the series with an all-new cast. Volition poured dedication into updating and supporting the game until the unfortunate closure of the studio in August.

For those curious about Saints Row's unique blend of humor and emotional storytelling, there's an insightful article available, offering a deeper dive into its game mechanics.

With the pattern established by the previous offerings, one can expect an exciting next couple of days from the Epic Games Store, potentially ringing in the New Year with some substantial gaming treats.
