[StrangerDanger]

[Neil98]

crazy times (this is fantastic news btw)

 

[Flandy]

holy shit

 

[tophu]

PC?! YES!!!

the mods will be glorious.

 

[Annabel]

RIP My dad's PS4

 

[Azerth]

i wonder if mlb gave sony a choice put the game on other platforms or lose the licences

 

[theme park joe]

Additional console platforms, make me think Sony is dipping its toe into Switch ports.I somehow doubt they'd release for Xbox but weirder things have happened.

 

[TheDanimal]

This is the biggest news I've seen in a minute. Pretty cool!

 

[packy17]

So a Sony-owned studio is going to develop games for Xbox and/or Switch?... That's interesting.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

This game on PC will be amazing. Can't see Sony ever releasing this on Xbox.

Wow...
*Insert SEGA joke here*

Good news.

 

[Strings]

So PC too 2021ish? They do say console though, so iunno.

 

[danrbg]

MLB pressing.

 

[PROh1bited]

Wow, that's actually pretty fucking crazy. I guess MLB forced them to do it.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Crazy

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

and just like that my uncle throws out all his playstation stuff lol

 

[Omnistalgic]

Cool beans

PlayStation 4 AND PlayStation 5 #hype

Oh, beyond PlayStation platforms? Hmm.

 

[Deleted member 9317]

BETTER TOGETHER.

Congrats Xbox owners. You finally getting in.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

One of the reasons I got a PS4 over XB1 after owning a 360 was MLB....

I'm still gonna get a PS5 over a Scarlett but MLB being exclusive helped me dodge a big bullet :p

 

[Imitation Of Life]

Wow.

I'm hoping for PC as well but we'll have to wait and see I suppose

I'd bet on that. Better this than Sony losing the license to make the games, its like the only quality sports series left.

 

[Sim]

Very cool.

 

[Bigkrev]

This might be a case where MLB is going to stop producing RBI Baseball, which was created because otherwise there would be no MLB games on non-sony Platforms, in exchange for Sony developing the game for all platforms

Most likely, it's just PC/Stadia, but it's interesting to dream!

 

[Sonicfan059]

I don't see anything that says it's coming to non Sony platforms.

Edit in front of my face. Lol nice!

This is getting crazy, y'all. We're in for something next gen. TOGETHER. <_<

 

[newmoneytrash]

please come to the PC

i love the show but i don't always have my PS4 hooked up and it's the perfect game to just jump in and out of for half an hour every day or so

 

[RecRoulette]

Fantastic

 

[darkside]

This probably means MLB is shutting down their own (futile) attempt with RBI. MLB must have paid a nice sum.

Probably not. The Show is the one licensed game series MLB has left that anyone cares about. It's more likely that they gave Sony something to get them to do this.

 

[bmdubya]

As much as I'd love this on PC, I bet it means they'll develop it for PS4 and PS5. I really hope I'm wrong as I'd love a proper MLB game on PC, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

EDIT: Never mind, I re-read the press release! Let's fucking go PC release!

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Holy shit, it's actually coming to Xbox? I'm gonna cry.

Umm look in this topic

Having a sports game exclusive to a single console was always dumb so I'm glad this is happening

 

[Damn Silly]

Always seemed a little weird that one of the big American sports' official game was a console exclusive.

Neat!

The Show was literally the only MLB game people were buying. It's just way more likely they paid Sony to put the game on other platforms or made it worth their while some other way.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Make Xbox/PC players pay more for packs and not have access to signature series players :p

 

[SolidSnakex]

Probably not. The Show is the one licensed game series MLB has left that anyone cares about. It's more likely that they gave Sony something to get them to do this.

It's either what the poster said about them stripping the license unless it goes multiplatform, or they gave Sony the license fully, meaning no one else can produce licensed baseball games (like we see with Madden and the NFL).

 

[SilverX]

Wow, this has huge potential given how much high quality sports sims sell. Sony may have another big money maker series on their hands

i don't think that SIE had the exclusive rights, right? just that 2K stopped developing their game?

 

[Flame Lord]

That's really weird since Sony develops it; I'd think they'd hand it over to a different studio before this would happen.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

This is wild, lol

 

[Elixist]

fucking awesome. very smart by Sony, will be an even bigger evergreen than it already was.

 

[MJForum Poster]

Jim Ryan really blew the save.

FUCK YES!!
