Steam Workshop for Saints Row IV is live!
The Saints Row series is all about the freedom to play how you want, and we're now taking that one step further with Steam Workshop support for Saints Row IV PC! It's never been easier to create and install mods that add new weapons and clothing, run custom scripts, and change gameplay values. Head over to the Saints Row IV community hub in your Steam client, click the Workshop tab, and start browsing. It's just that easy!
To celebrate, Saints Row IV PC is on sale for 75% off on Steam all this week and next!

There were many challenges in implementing Steam Workshop support since the game was not originally designed to support modding. A handful of dedicated Volition devs worked on this in their free time to update the engine and remove memory restrictions, as well as finding a way for individual mods to interact and work correctly with each other without the need for running special tools. It was all a labor of love for our fans, and we're incredibly excited to see the crazy content you come up with!
One last extra special thanks to the modding community at http://saintsrowmods.com who worked with us on creating and improving the tools, along with all the testing and feedback over the last few years. We couldn't have done it without you!
* Please note that only the Windows version of Saints Row IV PC is currently compatible with Workshop. We hope to announce Linux support soon.
Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row 2 now available for Linux and SteamOS!
Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third have now joined the rest of the Saints Row PC games on Linux and Steam OS!
Already own the games? Thanks to Steam Play, having either game in your library means you can now play it on any supported OS -- Windows, Linux, or Steam OS.
* The German release of Saints Row 2 PC is still only available for Windows operating systems due to issues with the original source code.
SteamOS versions of Saints Row IV and Gat out of Hell now available!
Both Saints Row IV and Saints Row: Gat out of Hell are now available for SteamOS!

Patch Notes:
[BUGS]

- Fix for a crash when scrolling on the Controls menu
- Players may no longer dismiss Kinzie as a homie during her Loyalty Mission.
- Clients may now get credit for throwing CID in mission: Sins of the Past
[UPDATES]
- Saints Row IV has been updated to Steam API 1.23a
- For players experiencing flickering issues when using a gamepad, we have added a new option in the display.ini called: “UIControllerStyle”. This can lock the display to only show gamepad inputs or only show keyboard/mouse inputs throughout play. For the new option to be seen in to the display.ini file: load the game, open the display options menu, and then exit the display options menu.
UIControllerStyle = 0 will result in default behavior. The game will automatically switch between kb/m and gamepad displays.
UIControllerStyle = 1 will lock the UI to kb/m displays. You will never see (A), or (LB), or anything like that, it’s always kb/m.
UIControllerStyle = 2 will lock the UI to gamepad displays. You will never see any keyboard keys, or even the mouse cursor.
If the UIControllerStyle option is omitted, it will default to 0 (auto-switching behavior).
- Added support for future DLC
