    Re: Mlb The Show 21 Launching on Gamepass

    Surprised no one has brought this up. I wonder if it’s going to be the next-gen, PS5/Series X version of the game or if it’s going to be the old-gen, PS4/XB1 version.

    My guess is old-gen, but you never know

      As a PS5 owner what a major W for Xbox users. I really do hope Sony got paid extra for doing this because this seems like a loss for those who own a PlayStation. $15 Gamepass > $70 Game.

        It was bad considering the first press releases/Tweets about The Show coming to XBox in 2021 came out in December of 2019. Well before pre-orders for the next-gen consoles were available.

        They'll have to buy the game eventually because no game ever stays on Gamepass forever, so they're at most saving probably $10-20 total if they can get the game on sale for $40-50 when it leaves GamePass (the game is still $60 on PS4). My guess is this is a one month thing to get people hyped on XBox for an actual baseball game that Microsoft paid a pretty penny for.

            Probably 3 months max since it’s non Microsoft game.

              Would have to be at least 3-4 months...Honestly for a lot of people it might satisfy the desire enough to not have to buy, or to wait for a sale then...I really wasn't a fan of having to spend 70, and was probably only doing that once to own one version, but now I'll have it for a while and save 70 and deal with it if it leaves...

              No way is it just one month.

                It's on Sony to come up with a similar model / service to combat this. I am on XSX, PS5 and Switch and like that they have different reasons to own them all.
                Everything MS owns stays on Game Pass, and they own the developers of Outer Worlds. There’s been a few games that are only on there for a short period of time, of the top of my head I remember GTA and Red Dead not being on there long.

                  Those were on 5ish months i think...I'm guessing this would be similar, at least 3-4, unless MS wants it a year

                    Yes. When it comes to MLB The Show we must think about the poor PS users. Oh the humanity.

                      You're probably right, but it's still a SIE made game. I just wouldn't get my hopes up for it lasting longer than 1 month as we've really never had a scenario like this on Game Pass. If it does last 3-4 months though, great! Happy for XBox users. I used to be one and was annoyed I was stuck with 2k baseball or nothing for years and years.

                        WOW

                        Guess it's a good thing saves don't carry over this year, makes the decision much easier for me. Especially since SSD space is at a premium until Sony eventually unlocks the SSD expansion slot.

                        Sucks to miss out on the loyalty card we usually get for having previous versions, but maybe I'll toss some of the money I was going to spend on the game toward packs.

                          If I had a dollar for every time I saw an XBox user complain that the Show was a PS exclusive the past 10 years I could have bought San Diego Studios by now.

                          So don't come at some PS users who are annoyed a game they've been paying full price for for the last decade is suddenly a $15 launch title on Xbox for a period of time.

                            Yes... we must consider the suffering of the PS owners when it comes to MLB The Show.

                              I kinda throw the "It's a SIE game" out the window since this actually happened...you don't really see MS add a game for 1 month, i think that would anger people more than be beneficial. I dunno though, just shocked this even happened, but i can always rebuy on sale later if i have to.
