Thank you Sony or whoever decided to do this. I am sure more players will be able to enjoy this game on their preferred platforms now.

MLB: The The Show about to go multi platform in 2021, no longer a PlayStation Exclusive
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
the only MLB announcement i want...is EA bringing back MVP Baseball.
i've tried the Bigs and The Show. and they just aint as good as old ass MVP baseball with manny ramirez on the cover i still play on PS2.
cool for Xbox tho. Its weird that a major sport just didn't have a real game on there

They did do that on the Wii and PS2, but it didn't do that well and the 2K exclusivity deal probably was a big part of it not being a regular thing.
Doubt mlb strong armed Sony. Bet if Sony wanted they could've kept the status quo, both parties would still profit. Mlb probably pitched the idea and Sony saw the $. Seems more like a Marvel (mlb) coming to Sony asking them to just make a great game, Spiderman (mlb multiplatform).
The fact that they tried and failed with RBI baseball says it all

Yep. That's the best take here. Don't care how when where who made the deal, I'm happy it exists.
I hope jschreier eventually can write an article or shed some light on the state of MLB games.
The Pro Baseball Spirits games are different. Those are Powerful Pro. Pro Baseball Spirits are more realistic (at least visually)
Considering Konami still pumps out the PES games and it must be lucrative for them, I always wondered why they never tried expanding Pro Baseball Spirits into the west. Guess they just didn't see the market for it.
Really surprised at this, but it certainly makes sense. The reactionary takes are annoying as always. Guess generation changes bring out the tribalism in people full bore lol
Just felt like we were past that kind of behavior. Shit I'm 23 and knowing how old the forum skews it seems kinda embarrassing.

Instead of leaving Xbox behind, Xbox gets even more games, and from Sony nonetheless. Great times.
Are you not seeing the problem with the fact that you derive happiness from others being kept from enjoying something in addition to you also being able to enjoy it?
Gotcha. I didn't know there was a second baseball from them, but I'd imagine the work to localize to the MLB probably wasn't worth it with the competition back then and I guess the same now with MLB The Show being a high bar to compete with.
Presuming a lot here, pal. If no console offers anything exclusive to justify its existence, why do consoles exist at all? It's not like Playstation hardware offers anything unique to justify the purchase on its own merits.
unlikely. no one is clamoring to get into the biz of making mlb games because it's effectively a dying sport. more likely scenario is mlb gave them a sweetheart deal that made publishing on other platforms more worthwhile. it doesn't hurt that it's likely to make sony more money in the process.
since NoA has replied to the news on twitter, does that mean the games will come to switch also?
Man, don't go overboard with these hot takes. EA's FIFA and Madden series are bigger, more popular games than MLB...and at least they keep online up for games for more than a year.
I would love to get this on PC (and hope it gets confirmed) as fans no doubt would add more models to the game and I would be able to play with something weird.
it would be fun seeing people's reactions to https://kotaku.com/horrifying-mlb-the-show-glitch-is-not-okay-1793405939 if someone modded them in :P
It also would be nice on the switch (which seemingly has been confirmed) but in general it's great news that more people get to play a great baseball game.
I do hope that it doesn't stretch the team too far and they continue to put in all the updates every year. But you can always hire more people for the ports I suppose or set up another team for that.

whats with all this buddy buddy feelings with PS and XBOX and Switch ... next you gonna tell me I can play Halo on PS5??? or Uncharted on Xbox???? Mario on PS5 ??? Is this upside down world? I want cosole WARZZZZZ not kissing and hugging!!
;)
;)
Brilliant for Sony about to reap the financial rewards of potentially millions more players. Brilliant for millions of fans who don't own any Sony devices who now get a piece of MLB goodness! EVERYONE wins.
Press release says multiple console platforms. All of us PC people back down and continue wallowing in our (admittedly still decent) MVP Baseball 2005 and its mods.
Huh. You're right. Outer Worlds was also announced for PS before the MS acquisition. I'm really interested in seeing how MS handles a potential Mc2 and OW2 going forward.
It's over, period. Sony lost their last ace, and that's the end of their PS5 hopes and dreams.
It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for PS5. Sony has nothing left, nothing they can reveal in the next State of Play would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest in a PS5. Except if they want to play Spider-Man 2. Which will also come to Switch at some point.
The age of Sony is done.

can i have Forza horizon and Killer instinct on playstation please? In fact, Killer instinct will benefit greatly with a (much) larger install base outside the states.
Why does that matter to you? PS4 offered unique games so you bought it. If PS5 does you will buy that too. If it doesn't presumably you won't and you will just buy the games instead. Why does it matter to you whether or not the console is part of the equation here?
Sony beat EA to the punch with sports games on the Switch :p No Madden, No NHL but Baseball from Sony :O
This is a weird situation, but it's a good situation for everyone. Whatever Sony loses in console sales to this they will gain a ton in gamesales.

Closest we'll get to a Minecraft 2 is pretty much The Bedrock Edition. Though Minecraft Dungeons was announced for everything too. I wouldn't look at Minecraft as a example of what's to come either, it's kinda it's own thing compared to MS' other I.Ps.
So Sony is making The Show multiplatform the way Minecraft is multiplatform? Sounds like Sony is about to make bank lol.
I'm sure Sony would love Xbox players to see 'Sony Interactive Entertainment' as they boot up the game, just as Microsoft like having 'Xbox Game Studios' when PlayStation folk play Minecraft.
Sorry, my home plate is on fire and the hot takes have melted.
Let me try to tone it down.
This is smart on sony. get more money and lose nothing as far as console sales while also learning the ins and outs of the competitors platforms and capabilities. I wonder if they getting Xbox scarlet dev kits.
Wow, this is kinda crazy, but then again it makes a ton of sense in that particular case.
Gran Turismo wouldn't be totally out of question too I guess, but it's still a different beast. Who knows though?
