Deep Silver and Volition have released a free Boss Factory demo for upcoming free-roaming action reboot, Saints Row.

The demo offers players the first hands on with the game’s extensive character creation suite. As is a hallmark of the series, you’ll get access to an absolutely enormous range of options and sliders to create the Boss of your dreams. Or nightmares. It’s entirely up to you.

You can change clothes, footwear, body shapes and styles, footwear, even voices and much more. There’s a couple of brand new features for the series too, such as asymmetrical face customisation. Once you’re done, you can save them and export them into the full game once it launches, or share it with the world on the game’s official website, where you can also download your friends’ creations.

To encourage you to do, players will get two free helmets as a reward for sharing their creations on SaintsRow.com. When registering for an account on the site, you’ll also get an exclusive Marshall Rocket Launcher which you’ll immediately find in your stash at game launch. You can download the Saints Row Boss Factory now from your console platform’s storefront of choice for free.

Meanwhile, the full Saints Row release will arrive on August 23, 2022 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC. You can check out Rich’s recent hands on with the game right over this way.
