MLB The Show has previously always been a PlayStation exclusive. With MLB The Show 21, however, not only will it be released on Xbox as well as on PS4 and PS5, but there will also be cross-platform play on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
The game is officially set to release on April 20th, so a slightly later release than the usual cycle of releasing in mid to late March. 2020 was far from an ordinary year though, and with the game being released on both PlayStation and Xbox for the first time ever; I’m sure we can forgive them here for the slightly later release date.
