MLB The Show 21 is coming to Game Pass on day 1 (Xbox Series and Xbox One)

[auicc]

wow this is crazy

 

[PepperedHam]

Uh. Alright. Hell yes.

That's kinda huge, no?

 

[sangreal]

lol wtf. That's awesome, can't wait

 

[Deleted member 4212]

This is perfect for me because every year I want to play like 3 games of baseball and then be done until next year.

 

[Rygar1126]

Hell yeah

 

[Deleted member 68874]

So MS is publishing the Xbox version then?

Click to shrink...

Nope, the MLB is listed as the publisher. MS probably made a deal with them for this and not Sony.

 

[Schlorgan]

I want to know how much Microsoft paid Sony for them to let that happen lol.

Click to shrink...

Enough for Sony to say yes.

So a lot.

 

[robinium7]

That trailer even, the Xbox logo followed by the PS Studios logo... I never thought we would see that.

 

[pg2g]

Maybe MS played a role in financing thr Xbox version and this was the outcome.

 

[RF Switch]

Megaton....is this Sony testing the waters?

 

[The Albatross]

dude WHAT

Well I guess I'll def be playing the Show. I was going to hold off for a little while on it, but can't turn that down now

 

[Rumenapp]

MLB and Sony getting that gamepass $$$$

 

[dunkzilla]

That's cool

 

[BlackheartVinyl]

In terms of surprise, not scope, this might be crazier than Xbox buying Bethesda.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Crazy

 

[Bakura]

Unbelievable 😳

 

[headspawn]

Thanks Sony?

 

[Stoney Mason]

I came

 

[wingkongex]

I assumed it would be hitting there eventually considering how much Diamond Dynasty fuels the game these days, but Day 1 is absolutely nuts.

 

[nihilence]

Uhm. Wild indeed.

 

[dragonbane]

Trailer has the PlayStation Studios logo:

 

[danhz]

Even sony cant turn down that spicy GP money
Must be illegal

 

[JimD]

After being 360 only during that generation, I bought a PS4 not for all the other criticisms of XB1... but because I really wanted to play MLB the Show. It's WILD that it's coming to Game Pass day one. Just unbelievable.

 

[FusedAtoms]

Doesn't sony just develop and MLB publishes? I doubt they had any say in the matter, not sure why people are freaking out so much lol

 

[cw_sasuke]

MS be straight trolling at this point LOL.

 

[Psamtik]

Goddamn.

Hope this gets more people to try the best sports franchise out there.

 

[digitalrelic]

Lmao whaaaat

 

[UraMallas]

This is too much for me. I have to sit down.

 

[Trago]

A Sony first party game at $60 day one on PS5, or day one on Game Pass?

 

[EvilChameleon]

Well it's a good thing I didn't preorder this! This is huge news.

 

[darkside]

As someone who buys the game every year and also has a PS Now subscription I think this is honestly kind of bullshit if they don't put the game on their own service. I think I'll honestly skip the game this year

 

[Napalm_Frank]

 

[m23]

What in the world lol.

Series S is calling your name

 

[Mass_Pincup]

So Xbox probably has the best and cheapest version of a PS Studio game?

That's wild indeed.

 

[Theorry]

Even Sony has been won over haha

 

[PeskyToaster]

they allowed it in exchange for Halo on PS5

 

[Windu]

I just bought it too. Damn

 

[AgentStrange]

It's simple. Phil Spencer bought baseball

 

[darkside]

I'm not buying a cheap budget machine to play on my 4K tv.

Click to shrink...

It's $70 on PS5.

 

[Spirited]

More sports games on GP? Well it's not for me but I'm guessing some people will be really happy about these news at least :)

 

[tim1138]

Welp, time to cancel my pre-order

 

[dusan]

PS Studios ha.

 

[not_smiff]

How Sway? Still weird seeing the PS logo on the box

 

[Dantero]

Gamepass should be forbidden. It's illegal.

 

[Raigor]

Sony is paying MS for Deathloop and GhostWire deals and MS is paying Sony for MLB The Show on Game Pass lol

You love to see it

 

[The Albatross]

In terms of surprise, not scope, this might be crazier than Xbox buying Bethesda.

Click to shrink...

haha yeah, I agree with this

Like... a year ago (or w/e) if you told me that MLB The Show was going to be ON Xbox I woulda been like "Nah, that's crazy" and ... if yous aid "It's going to be on Xbox and free on xbox" I woulda assumed, like, America invaded Japan and forced a merger between Microsoft and Sony or something

As someone who buys the game every year and also has a PS Now subscription I think this is honestly kind of bullshit if they don't put the game on their own service. I think I'll honestly skip the game this year

I agree, Sony should definitely try to make it included with PS NOw or part of whatever their Games with Gold / PS+ free game program is. I'd have to think they're talking about this

Sony and Microsoft bonding over baseball.
