Two classic games from the Saints Row franchise are currently available for a very low price on the Xbox Store. The Saints Row games began on the seventh generation of consoles such as the Xbox 360.

The sequel built upon that engine, as Saints Row 2 became known as one of the best open-world comedy and parody games. The wild direction that the title took in its second outing made it one of the most memorable titles to come out in its time.

Saints Row The Third — $2.24 (from $14.99)

Saints Row The Third: Remastered — $7.99 (from $39.99)

While the latest entry in the franchise was released in 2022, the Saints Row reboot did not live up to the expectations of fans craving for the nostalgic action that
