We’ve been able to play the Saints Row reboot for the past few days (courtesy of publisher Deep Silver), but we’re not ready to pass judgment on Volition’s latest open world game yet.
That said, we did capture some gameplay from the PC version for you to enjoy. There are no main quests, so no need to be afraid of spoilers.
The game supports ray tracing for indirect lighting, which definitely improves the otherwise unremarkable graphics. However, it comes at a significant performance cost, and it cannot be offset by AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution or NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling, as these techniques are unavailable in Saints Row. As such, we decided to turn it off for our playthrough on PC (equipped with 12700KF CPU and 3090 GPU).
By the way, the developers have finally shared the full PC specs for Saints Row. You can find them below.
