Let's also not forget that, since this is the 1st time the Show is on Xbox, thats likely why its on gamepass to begin with, so I highly doubt next years game will also be on gamepass. It's really not the end of the world for 1 year when you were running unopposed for nearly 10 lol

Yea but how many Playstation 3’s and 4’s did mlb the show alone sell. I mean i know a bunch of us bought playstations over the year just for the show. I have the ps5 and the show preordered and dont own a xbox series x/s so not spending $400 plus to get the show free lol, but if this is the trend for gamepass (they also have outriders for free day 1 that just released) and xbox starts providing Multiple AAA titles a month , i will definitely get an xbox when they are easily available and might drop my loyalty to playstation these past 10 years. Also this is gonna kill physical disc sales this gen for places like gamestop.

I bought my first PS ever (Ps3) specifically for the Show. It opened me up to many other Sony franchises, but the Show definitely moved some systems.

I have both next gen systems, but no matter what system you own you cant deny microsoft has been delivering as of late. Crazy.

Re: Mlb The Show 21 Launching on Gamepass

This is good news for gamers. My only question with the game pass version is does this mean I can play it on PC or will it be console gamepass exclusive. If its the former... boy oh boy... Xbox you'll have another Gamepass ultimate user for sure!

That still doesn't quite answer my question since Game pass is also on PC. It's just that not all games on Console Game pass made it to PC. Unless I'm understanding you wrong.

If it is possible to play The Show on PC this year it will be through the Cloud feature of GamePass. It won't be something that is downloadable in the GamePass Library for you to play locally on your PC since it isn't a PC game. You'll have to have GamePass Ultimate and stream the game via the Cloud to play it.

Re: MLB The Show 21 Coming to Xbox Game Pass on April 20

So I got the Series X because I'm heavily invested in the ecosystem, and I literally only had a PS4 for The Show. I was hoping it would be on Xbox this year, but shortly before it was announced I started getting nervous it wouldn't be so I got the opportunity to get a PS5 and I couldn't turn it down just to be safe. Of course days later it's announced for Xbox.

Now I have another choice to make. I almost pre-ordered it on PS5 last night because I wanted to see how it would make use of the Duel Sense. Something stopped me at the last minute. I planned on buying the Jackie Robinson edition so I could play four days early. Which I always do that every year.

So now what do I do? For me it's gonna kill me waiting an extra four days. But is four days worth paying $85 when I can wait four days and get it essentially for free?

I know, first world problem.

Forgive my ignorance but how would you play this game on a cell phone screen?
