Saints Row fans have been longing for a return to the uncomplicated pleasures of the series' earliest games, and it looks like the latest installment just might make their dreams come true.

The open-world action game series was developed by Volition and published by Deep Silver. With its uniquely zany combination of crude humor, open-world anarchy, and first-person shooting, the series is something of a cult phenomenon, with the third installment being the most revered among the fan base.

Since its release, the series developers have taken the franchise in increasingly ambitious directions.

The new open-world map in Saints Row -- Santo Ileso -- is set in the American Southwest, and offers a different layout than previous games in the series. The map is divided into several districts, and is also dotted with a few markers, which indicate important locations in the game.

If you want to learn more about the new Saints Row map, then this guide is for you.

Saints Row map size

The map size for Saints Row 5 is said to be significantly larger than that of its predecessor, coming in at around 8 km (4.9 miles). This is due to the game's focus on open-world exploration, with players being able to travel to different parts of the world to uncover new secrets and complete missions. The game is also said to feature several biomes, each with its unique weather and wildlife.
