The over-the-top world of Saints Row has a lot on paper for accessibility. If you’ve read our Saints Row review, you’ll see how they come into play in-game. However, if you’re wanting that more in-depth look at what to find in the Settings menu, this is where to look.
It’s also worth remembering that the existence of an accessibility menu doesn’t mean that the game itself is accessible. Instead, this deep dive serves to show players what to expect from the menus in case there is anything they need or prefer to see.
All images and information displayed below are from the PS5 version and could be subject to change.
