Saints Row: The Third is a 2011 action-adventure game developed by Volition and published by THQ. It is the sequel to 2008's Saints Row 2 and the third installment in the Saints Row series. It was released on November 15, 2011 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, and May 10, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch. The game's single-player story follows the same unnamed player-created character from the first two installment, who became the leader of the fictional 3rd Street Saints gang. Five years after the events of Saints Row 2, the Saints have grown into a media and consumer empire with their own brand, and find themselves stranded in the fictional city of Steelport, controlled by the international crime organization, the Syndicate. While becoming caught in a war against the Syndicate, who are trying to destroy their reputation, the Saints must also contend with S.T.A.G., a violent paramilitary contracted with restoring order to Steelport.
