Saints Row Series' Sharing Services to Shut Down

By Kelly Packard,
With old games often comes the discontinuation of features and services. The Saints Row series is no different. Volition has announced the My Steelport function, which allowed players to share characters and screenshots in 2011's Full Kiss Saints Row The Third and 2013's Full Kiss Saints Row 4, will have its servers closed near the start of 2018.

When My Steelport goes away, it will take trophies with it in the third and fourth games and a regional variant for each. If you need help earning any of the trophies, consult their individual solutions for tips. Here are the ones you should look to take care of before the feature shutters:

Full Kiss Saints Row IV Re Elected does not require players to use My Steelport for any trophies.

Volition said a few words about the closure, noting that the services were not seeing much use anymore:

The decision to switch off the servers was difficult for us and not taken lightly. We want our fans to enjoy our work for as long as possible. However more than 4 years after Saints Row IV released, we have experienced a significant reduction in the numbers of players using these services.
Players will be unable to access My Steelport starting January 31st, 2018.
