Here’s Alice’s review.The Saints Row franchise has featured character customization throughout the series, with most installments offering ways to craft the perfect criminal boss, allowing players to customize race, gender, body size, and much more.

Regardless, this shouldn’t effect creating your own creations in the game, but if you’ve had your eye on someone else’s facsimile of Hulk Hogan or just don’t have the time/patience to make your own multi-coloured monstrosity, you’ve got until January 31 to do it.

Making the announcement on the Saints Row website, they note that they took the decision partially due to ‘a significant reduction in the numbers of players using these services’ in the four years since Saints Row IV’s release. Bad news if you’re a fan of Saints Row the Third and IV’s custom character creations, as Deep Silver has announced that it’ll be shutting down the My Steelport functionality of the two games at the end of January.
