With such a focus on multiplayer play, many are hoping for Saints Row crossplay to be big and expansive. This is everything we know about it, cross-progression, and what we can expect the launch to look like.
As well as this, if you're looking to order the game for yourself, we go over all the preorder details and what platforms you can buy the game on. Though we don't have confirmation of an official Nintendo Switch release, the Google Stadia release shows it must run well on the cloud. We go over this and more.
If you're looking forward to Saints Row and want to find out everything you possibly can, here's what we know about the Saints Row Release date right now. If this isn't what you're looking for, here's what we know about the Saints Row system requirements. Though it's not out for a little while, you may want to also check out our Saints Row preview.
Does Saints Row have crossplay?
Saints Row doesn't have crossplay in the traditional sense. If you play on PlayStation, you can't play with Xbox players. This being said, it does have cross-generation support. If your friends play on PlayStation 4, you can play with them on PlayStation 5.

What platforms is Saints Row on?
At launch, you can get Saints Row on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PC, and Google Stadia. Though it is running on previous generations' hardware, it may struggle with anything as underpowered as the Nintendo Switch.
This being said, with a cloud-based launch on Google Stadia, we could potentially see a cloud launch on Nintendo Switch. If enough players want it, the devs may put the time in to figure it out. However, it's not worth banking on it happening just yet.
