A popular franchise that was once exclusive to Sony is making its way to other consoles like Nintendo's Switch – and the game is also coming to Xbox Game Pass on launch day.
If you're anticipating the release of blockbuster games like Horizon: Zero Dawn or The Last of Us, you might want to temper your expectations. It was recently announced that Sony's MLB The Show will once again be available on multiple platforms at launch for another year.
This marks another instance of the Sony-published sports game being accessible beyond its traditional home, expanding to the Xbox and Switch platforms, a move that began with MLB The Show 21.MLB The Show 24 Coming To Switch And Xbox Game Pass
MLB The Show 24 is going to feature Toronto Blue Jay's First and Third Baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the cover after an incredible 2023 season. The game will be made available for Nintendo Switch players. Xbox players can enjoy the game on Game Pass upon release.
According to reports, it had been Major League Baseball who requested that MLB The Show will be available on multiple platforms back in 2021. This is not uncommon, with other Sony titles like Destiny also being available on multiple platforms, while Microsoft-owned games like Ghostwire: Tokyo were available on PlayStation as well.
MLB The Show 24 is set to release on March 19, 2024. For now there is no information on what features will be available in the game yet though, but it's likely not going to be all too different from previous versions... it is still a sports game after all.
