Downloadable content for Saints Row: The Third was announced before the game's November 2011 release along with a commitment from publisher THQ to support 40 weeks of content. Among smaller upgrades, three main content packs were released: Genkibowl VII, Gangstas in Space, and The Trouble with Clones. Reviewers found all three packs short—around an hour in length—and considered The Trouble with Clones the best of the bunch.
Genkibowl VII, released in January 2012, brought four new activity types to Steelport around a Professor Genki-themed competition. Sad Panda Skyblazing, the only one of the four activities to not modify an existing activity type, was the reviewers' favorite. Gangstas in Space, released in February, is a three-mission story about a Saints-themed film production starring the player and fighting aliens. The Trouble with Clones, released in March, has the player tracking down and quelling a rampant clone of Saints leader Johnny Gat. Reviewers highly praised its "Saints Flow" superpower sequences, and questioned why they could not have been unlocked in the main game afterwards. All download packs offered unlocks upon their completion.
The Full Package, a version containing all of the game's downloadable content on disc alongside the main game, was released in November. Some of the smaller content items include costume, vehicle, and ability unlocks. THQ planned a standalone expansion of the game called Enter the Dominatrix. It was originally announced as an April Fool's joke, but was confirmed and later spun into Saints Row IV's downloadable content.
Downloadable content for Saints Row: The Third was announced before the game's release, and has included additional story missions, weapons, and characters. The game's publisher, THQ, pledged "40 weeks" of downloadable content following the game's launch on November 15, 2011. A season pass offered a discount on the total cost of three downloadable content packs—Genkibowl VII, Gangstas in Space, and The Trouble with Clones—all scheduled for release by Q2 2012, and added the Nyte Blade vampire hunter content as a bonus.
A full release containing all downloadable content with the original game, Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package, was announced in September 2012 for release two months later on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The package included all three mission packs ("Genkibowl VII", "Gangstas in Space", and "The Trouble with Clones") as well as the add-on clothes, vehicles, and weapons. It was released on November 6, 2012 in North America, and ten days later internationally.
