Microsoft had to entrust Sony with the Xbox Series before the release of -apkrig

In order for this year’s MLB The Show to appear on the Xbox for the first time, including the all-new Xbox Series, Microsoft had to provide this system to San Diego Studio developers before the next-gen consoles were released. Sarah Bond from Microsoft said in an interview with Axios magazine that it was a real show of trust.

It is necessary to realize that at that moment he had to entrust the planned console into the hands of his main rival. The sales numbers show that Microsoft paid off because this step paid off, because Microsoft really cared about this baseball on its console. According to Microsoft, MLB: The Show 21 became the biggest Xbox sports game in the last year and the second most successful Xbox sports game of all time.

Thanks to the introduction of the game directly into the Game Pass, Xbox has added millions of new fans of this brand and is said to have significantly expanded its player base. It should be added that the MLB: The Show series has become a multiplatform game at the discretion of the licensee. Thanks to this, the first party exclusivity was also experienced by players on competing devices. It was not directly a Sony initiative.

In addition to the PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series, MLB The Show 21 is also available on the Xbox One. This is the first licensed baseball on the Xbox since the release of MLB 2K13. Microsoft is said to have been trying to get the MLB The Show series on its console for years.
