Saints Row IV Gets Steam Workshop Support

Volition have returned to add some more content to Saints Row IV - but only if you're willing to help. And by 'you' we mean 'people who can create mods'.

Three years after release, the final main Saints Row title has been granted Steam Workshop support. This means that it's easier than ever to add in mods to your game, and not rely on manually finding folders hidden deep inside your C: drive.

There's a post about it on the Steam community.

There were many challenges in implementing Steam Workshop support since the game was not originally designed to support modding. A handful of dedicated Volition devs worked on this in their free time to update the engine and remove memory restrictions, as well as finding a way for individual mods to interact and work correctly with each other without the need for running special tools. It was all a labor of love for our fans, and we're incredibly excited to see the crazy content you come up with!

One last extra special thanks to the modding community at http://saintsrowmods.com who worked with us on creating and improving the tools, along with all the testing and feedback over the last few years. We couldn't have done it without you!

So long as this all goes well, Volition are even considering adding Steam Workshop support to Saints Row The Third, according to a tweet.

@BaileyJIII We're also looking at the possibility of Workshop for Saints Row: The Third as well.
