There have been some rumors in recent days, and today the official character of what is in effect a historical event arrives: MLB The Show 21 it will be there first video game from PlayStation Studios to arrive on platforms Xbox!
PlayStation social profiles have officially announced details on MLB The Show 21, sports game developed by Sony San Diego – which perhaps is also working on a major Sony franchise? – which will be available from April 20 and will have Fernando Tatis Jr., star of the San Diego Padres, as a cover athlete.
The game itself is certainly not new: for years Sony and PlayStation have been working exclusively with the MLB federation to offer licensed games, but the surprising announcement is that relating to the platforms on which the game will arrive.
MLB The Show 21 will not only land on PS5 and PS4, but also on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One, a decision that makes it right into history as the first video game made by PlayStation Studios to land on Xbox platforms. .
Ramone Russell, Game Designer and Community Manager at Studio San Diego, further specified that the game guarantees cross-playwhich means that PlayStation and Xbox players will be able to enjoy the same game servers for multiplayer.
Pre-order bonuses and the Collector’s Edition were also announced. For more details, find the link at the bottom of this article.
This is decidedly epochal news, but it could have been dictated by the agreements between Sony and the federation of MLB, perhaps eager to expand its audience on other platforms. In short, do not expect, at least not in the next period, to see other exclusive PlayStation Studios on the Xbox platforms.
