Saints Row: The Third Remastered on Android and iOS: What Mobile Devs Can Learn

 🎮 Saints Row: The Third Remastered Just Launched on Android and iOS: What Mobile Developers Can Learn From the Port

Feral Interactive released its port of the 2011 open-world crime sandbox on October 29, 2026. It's the full 2020 remaster, not a cut-down version, which makes it a useful case study in bringing a console-scale game to phones.

What the store listings confirm:

📱 Requires iOS 18 or later, or Android 13 or newer
💾 19.2 GB download listed on the App Store
đŸ•šī¸ Customizable touch controls, plus Xbox, PlayStation, and MFi controller support
💰 $19.99 one-time premium purchase, with all DLC and online co-op included

Why it matters for developers:

  • Pricing: a premium, one-time model is rare on mobile, where free-to-play dominates.
  • Input design: a third-person shooter needs both touch and gamepad support to be playable.
  • Storage and OS floors: a 19 GB install and recent OS minimums narrow the pool of supported devices.

Open questions: performance on mid-range Android phones and the Android download size. Independent testing is still thin, so I'd treat anything beyond the store listings as unconfirmed.
