Sony announced that MLB The Show 21 will release on April 20th on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X / S.
This is the first entry in the MLB The Show series that will release on Microsoft’s home consoles, but Sony isn’t just offering the game on the Xbox for the first time. MLB The Show 21 will also support full cross-platform progression, cross-saves, and online multiplayer between PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
The standard edition of MLB The Show 21 will be more expensive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S than PS4 and Xbox One. There’s no free upgrade path for the standard edition, which costs $60 on PS4 and Xbox One, and $70 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The collector’s edition will allow you to play across both console generations, which may be useful if you have a PS5 in your living room and a PS4 in your bedroom. Details about the collector’s edition will be revealed on Wednesday.
This will be the first time that PlayStation Studios has published one of its games on a competitor’s consoles. The company brought Horizon Zero Dawn to PC last year and has said it might do the same with other first-party PlayStation games.
