Sony didn’t decide to release MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass

Last week, one of the loudest news was the announcement of the appearance MLB The Show 21 from Sony on Xbox Game Pass from Microsoft… Sony today confirmed that it was not their decision.

At the end of 2019, when the contract was renewed, MLB representatives demanded the release of the game on large platforms, and closer to the release of the debut part outside the PlayStation, the organization decided to find a new way to increase the audience – Game Pass.

This solution provides a unique opportunity to further expand the MLB The Show brand in the video game environment.“- said a representative of the PlayStation edition of Inverse.

MLB The Show 21 will be released on April 20 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series and Xbox One with full support for crossplay and cross-progress – you can both play with users of other consoles and transfer your progress between them.

The situation for PlayStation owners looks strange: the Sony game will not only debut on another console, but will also be available there at a more attractive price. It is worth noting, however, that the publisher on the Xbox is not Sony, but MLB itself.
