PC fans of Saints Row 4 can now pre-load the game ahead of its release this week using the Steam digital distribution service.

Saints Row 4 has been a long time coming and, despite a mid-development publisher change, due to THQ's bankruptcy, the team at Volition continued to craft a great experience.

After seeing plenty of videos with the open-world title, the game is now set to appear this week for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms.

PC users who have already pre-purchased the game using the Steam digital distribution service can now pre-load the title and download almost all of the files necessary to play it.

The actual game is set to be unlocked on Tuesday, August 20, in North America, and on Friday, August 23, in Europe and the rest of the world.
