Totally agree on the last point, the potential MTX/DLC money is huge.

MLB The Show 21 is coming to Game Pass on day 1 (Xbox Series and Xbox One)
- Thread starter Arubedo
- Start date
Strange development. As MLB publish the game on Xbox, but Sony still make it, I'm not even going to pretend I understand how this kind of deal would work.
Even if these kinds of deals worked like that, it would not be a good trade for Microsoft.

A surprise, but a welcome one. Absolutely not something I expected to wake up to. Was excited to buy it for my Xbox after years of getting it on PS. Thanks for footing the bill MS
I think you overrate how many games the average person buys in a given year, let alone a given console cycle. In January 2020, the software attach rate for PS4 was about 11 games (physical and digital), and the console had been out for a little over six years at that point. That's less than 2 games a year. People are hardly overwhelmed with new games if that's the case. This forum and other gaming spaces where people buy more than a dozen games a year on release date is a severe outlier.
May be that Kojima Productions statue behind Phil Spencer is a hint that Death Stranding is also coming to Xbox.
Gamepass keeps winning. So glad I decided to pick up both a PS5 and XSX. PS4 was my main, but XSX is going to be this gen with Gamepass, loving my elite controller more than the DualSense and liking the UI more.
And Sony is still the publisher. MLB aren't, they likely have distribution rights for Xbox/other platforms in the future, but they aren't publishing it internally, it's why there's a big PS Studios logo there, that''s Sony's publishing side.
From the talk in this thread I'm not even sure Sony is publishing the Xbox version it might be the MLB directly.
Yes they have said it has cross play and supposedly game progress will transfer as well.
Gamepass Ultimate only costing 180/year. Saving you 130 just this month, then halo = covers the cost
I will be interested to see what the player base difference is if that is something that we can find out. If more people are playing this on Xbox then that is a massive fucking L for Sony. I never liked the game so I am not going to play it regardless but Sony just keeps getting dunked on by things like BC and GP.
I saw Shinobi602's tweet about his and assumed it was an April fools one from yesterday just showing up. Wild that it's true.
I'm not really in to baseball but MLB is one of those games I was always curious about trying on PS4 but never enough to buy it. will definitely give it a go on gamepass. Just checked and it includes the Series S/X versions too? sweet!

Me too. I'm kinda back into baseball this year and was looking at the very same version of the game, I decided to wait as a Canadian paying out $100 for a single game gives me the sweats lol.
So once again, thank you Microsoft for helping me make up my mind. And that Tom Warren tweet has me incredibly excited for what else is to come sports wise.
Indeed, Sony comes out looking out of sorts with all their GamePass hyperbole with this announcement.
Sooo that not profitable argument can die right?
If your direct competition is cool with it?
wow that's nuts

Wow. This is fucking nuts. Things went from a good deal for Xbox to a kinda bad deal for PlayStation (in that $70 seems like a harder sell than free with a subscription including a fuckton of other games and more to come - except to pretty much only those who just buy this game and nothing else). And from a Sony studio at that.
