There's no escaping that Saints Row unfortunately didn't live up to many players' expectations when it arrived last year, but the developers have been trying to improve the game ever since, and that effort will continue in 2023.
Earlier this week, Volition unveiled the Saints Row 2023 roadmap, confirming that the game will be getting new content between May and August of this year. This includes three DLC expansions, along with a bunch of free content.
Here's the complete at-a-glance roadmap:
MAY
The Heist and The Hazardous Campaign DLC – comes with the Expansion Pass
Sunshine Springs New District – Free for all players
Quality of Life Update – including Selfie Mode, combat improvements and so SO much more – Free for all players
JULY
Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus New Game Mode – comes with the Expansion Pass
Quality of Life Update – more to be revealed – free for all players
AUGUST
Expansion 3 – Campaign DLC – included in the Expansion Pass
New district – more to be revealed – Free for all players
Quality of Life Update – more to be revealed – free for all players
Volition says that these upcoming expansions will be featuring "new campaign missions, gameplay, weapons, vehicles, cosmetics, and more across both new and well-travelled parts of Santo Ileso", and you'll be able to buy them separately or as part of the Saints Row Expansion Pass.
Also, as you can see, the new city districts will be free for all Saints Row players - "meaning everyone will get a chance to explore totally new areas of Santo Ileso this year and the world encounters and activities that come with that".
The team hasn't given up on improving the base game in general, either:
"While there’s lots of content on the way for our Expansion Pass players, we’re still hard at work refining the Saints Row experience through more quality of life updates, continued bug fixing, and community requested features including a photo mode, retooled combat, a whole new emotes system, and more."
Ultimately, there's plenty of good stuff on the way, and we'll be keeping our fingers crossed that Volition can breathe more life back into the Saints Row franchise over the coming months.

Does this roadmap include a sale? Cuz I'd pick it up for about $20. With the Expansion Pass included.
@XxEvilAshxX Keep an eye on the weekly sales, it's been reduced quite heavily a few times.
Big news for the 5 or 6 people who actually still care about this game.
Do they have a roadmap to make the game not hipster trash?
@XxEvilAshxX could swear it was 20 last week
I really enjoyed this one so I am happy to see it getting further support. Will pick up the expansion pass.
Is it even worth it on sale for like 20 bucks? I liked all the other Saints Row games a lot, even Gat out of Hell DLC was fun, but just heard so many bad things about the new one... like cringe writing/characters, not much customization, just an empty boring world. The world and characters are some of the most important things in a game to me, so last thing I'd want is to be annoyed or turned off by them
