"Keep It Strange, Santo" - it's a community of local businesses. If we get in with them it'll do us some good. Connections, business opportunities... ok mostly connections and business opportunities, but that shit's important.

The Frontier (Outro)#

Strings from the cutscene where the Boss talks with The Nauhalli outside of FB's, supposed to come after the Boss says "oh shit" and before the Boss says "Is this going to be a problem?". The way this part was cut is rather abrupt in the final.

Development Oversights#

Due it's rough launch when the game first came out. It's filled to the brim with notable bugs and glitches, along with some oversights.

While some of the stuff has been fixed with updates, these oversights are still present in the game. Because of Volition's shutdown.

Snickerdoodle's Shadow#

SR2022-SnickerDoodle-Shadow.png

Snickerdoodle's model during one of the cutscenes for the "Be Your Own Boss" mission doesn't have it's shadow rendered properly.

Internal Filename#

Many of the filenames refer to the game as "sr5", standing for "Saints Row 5". The game was originally developed as a sequel before it was a full-on reboot.

Regional Differences#

Japanese Version#

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