THQ and Volition announced that Saints Row: The Third is available today on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Saints Row: The Third gives players control of the Saints at the height of their power. The city of Steelport is ready to be conquered and it’s up to you to make the city your own. Mold the skyline based on your choices, outfit your crew as you see fit, and make life-or-death decisions that will change Steelport, and the Saints, forever.

“There’s no way to describe Saints Row: The Third other than pure, over-the-top fun,” said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President, Core Games, THQ. “In a sea of games that are doing the same thing over again, it’s incredibly refreshing to take Saints Row in a completely new direction, and incredibly satisfying to see the reaction from fans so far. Today, we all embrace the crazy.”

Today also marks the first day players will be able to import their created characters from the Saints Row Initiation Station into Saints Row: The Third. Since November 1, the Saints Row community has created more than 1.5 million characters using the Initiation Station.

Saints Row: The Third is available today on Xbox 360 (SRP US$59.99), PlayStation 3 (SRP US$59.99) and PC (SRP US$49.99), and is rated M for Mature.
