It appears that last year's Xbox port of MLB The Show 21 was just the beginning. Sony just confirmed that the critically acclaimed baseball sports simulation series is headed over to even more non-PlayStation consoles for this year. In addition to the Xbox Series S/X and Xbox One, MLB The Show 22 is also coming to the Nintendo Switch once it hits the market on April 5, 2022.
Sony and San Diego Studio made headlines last year when Sony confirmed that the exclusive baseball sim franchise was headed to the Xbox Game Pass at launch. The first MLB The Show came out in 2006 for the PS2 and PSP only. Since then, every annual iteration has made its way exclusively to PlayStation consoles. But, Sony is opening up MLB The Show to other consoles, with Nintendo the latest to join the party.
Sony revealed details about MLB The Show 22 in an official PlayStation blog post. On top of the multiplatform release, Sony also unveiled MLB The Show 22's cover star, star pitcher Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels. The post also had good news for Switch owners looking to buy MLB The Show 22. The Switch version will feature both cross-play and cross-progression support across all platforms with pricing that matches the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
