, Saints Row’s community and social media manager on LinkedIn revealed that the game sold 1.7 million units.

According to Embracer Groups 3rd quarter earnings call for 2022, Saints Row cost more than $100 million to develop. The game originally released for $70, which would have seen the studio gain a profit of 19 million dollars, however, soon after the games release, the ***** price of the game was decreased likely in part to its poor reception.

The game received mixed to average reviews by critics and was slammed online by players due to the games mass amount of bugs and quantity. In November 2022, Embracer Group stated that Saints Row “did not meet the full expectations and left the fanbase partially polarized”, but financially “performed in line with management expectations in the quarter.”

In August 2023, one year on from the games release, Embracer Group closed down Volition and moved its Red Faction and Saints Row IP to Plaion.
