It has crossplay, assuming it’s not crashing for you
If it was what they thought, it hasn’t worked. Players report that Re-Elected isn’t an upgrade at all, but that it has broken their save games, their mods, and introduced new launch and crash bugs to the nine-year-old game.

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected was released on Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Storeon December 8th, with new crossplay functionality between players who purchase from different digital stores. At the same time, all DLC and prior versions of the game were removed from sale, and existing owners of the game were “automatically upgraded” to the new version.
Yesterday Deep Silveracknowledgedthat they were “actively investigating” several issues, including those I mentioned above.
Technically, it should still be possible to play the old, pre-upgrade version of Saints Row IV via a beta branch “Legacy Version” on both Steam and GOG. Unfortunately Deep Silver’s post also says that one of the issue’s they’re investigating is the “Legacy Branch pulling the wrong build on Steam”. Some players havenot unreasonably suggestedthat Re-Elected should have been published as a separate game, rather than overwriting the orginal.
