The 2022 Saints Row loosely reboots the series with a slightly more grounded yet vague approach, revamped customization, and a nicely-designed open-world map, all while telling a shallow yet cautionary tale of why college-age hipsters shouldn't get into criminal businesses without any actual everlasting consequences.

To do: Cover: Unused content that can be found here Development Oversights: voice line subtitle error in Good Cop/Bad Cop mission The Boss Factory contains some early stuff. Unseen details outside of Santo Ileso.

Unused Graphics

Map Icons

Discoveries

An earlier icon for the Photo Discovery icon (map_discoveries_photo). Final uses map_discoveries_photoB, with an image next to the camera.

A scrapped map "Discovery" for a Firetruck (likely the Blaze), instead of appearing as a Side Hustle. They do appear in the final except without hose water.

In the final game, the desert of Santo Ileso is a completely snake-free zone.

Perhaps diving was supposed to be in this game?

A scrapped discovery internally called "Fast Identity". Maybe it was to do with credit cards at banks?

An icon for a strip club, despite there only being an unenterable one in the Red Light District.

Stores

An icon for a car garage, according to the filename, rather than a car dealer. The graphic would be used in the V1.2 update, albeit purple.

An icon for a scrapped surgeon store. Likely scrapped in favor of the surgery being easily accessible via the phone.

Icon likely intended for a yard sale store, despite the filename saying "unknown".

Early Perks

There's a handful of scrapped Perks in this graphic file, including a... peculiar placeholder graphic.

• There's a scrapped Perk for a Human Shield ability, which was likely replaced with a similar one in the final.
• Molotovs were originally going to be in the game as usable weapons, but got scrapped.

Hidden Concept Art

Found inside the bitmaps/dev_launcher folder contains 21 hi-res pieces of concept art from varying points of development, apparently leftover from a development launcher. All are dated August 24, 2022.

Internal Filename

Many of the filenames refer to the game as "sr5", standing for "Saints Row 5".

Regional Differences

Japanese Version

Modesty cannot be accessed in customization, due to CERO rating legislations of nudity in video games, thus the Boss' pixelation cannot be customized with emoticons, nor can it be toggled to show nipples.

Revisional Differences
