By Will Fulton Published January 28, 2015

Deep Silver Volition Saints Row IV is getting its obligatory next-gen makeover with Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 27, 2015.

Like other recent re-releases of the game, this new edition will include all previously-released content. It will of course take advantage of the new hardware’s increased horsepower with enhanced resolution and visuals. Voice commands will be integrated for controlling your gang and navigating menus. On the PS4 version, Remote Play will be possible with the Vita.

Saints Row IV took the increasingly tongue-in-cheek saga of the Third Street Saints to hyperbolic new heights, starting you off as President of the United States when sinister aliens invade. A series that once started with prosaic larceny and gun fights became a joyous celebration of what’s fun in the medium with superpowers and a music-blasting Dubstep Gun.

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected will launch on January 27.

Things are looking rough for Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine

Steam Machine Angled Shot

Valve has made the Steam Deck much more expensive, and that is a worrying signal for anyone waiting on the upcoming Steam Machine.

The 512GB Steam Deck OLED now costs $789, rising from its previous $549 price, while the 1TB OLED model has moved from $649 to $949. Valve has linked the increase to higher memory and storage costs, which are being driven by the ongoing AI boom. Now, a well-known Valve leaker has shared a disappointing update for gamers waiting for the Steam Machine.

The biggest shock comes from the higher-end models. The 1TB Steam Deck OLED now costs $950 in the US, up from its original $650 launch price. Meanwhile, the 512GB OLED version has jumped from $550 to $790.
