With MLB The Show 21, Sony’s San Diego Studio-developed franchise made its way to Xbox platforms for the first time. This was the first PlayStation Studios title to hit Xbox as far as I know. At the time, the franchise was also expected to come to Switch. Over the last few years, Sony has become more open to bringing its games to other platforms and the company is also exploring mobile. When MLB The Show 22 was revealed, a Nintendo Switch version was officially confirmed making it the first PlayStation Studios release on a Nintendo platform. Over the weekend, a new job listing from Sony’s San Diego Studio hints at a mobile version of MLB The Show.

The full job listing which you can view here is for a Senior Mobile Programmer at San Diego Studio with experience on mobile application development for iOS and Android. Considering the MLB The Show is now on Nintendo Switch and with prior entries also on PS Vita, I wouldn’t be surprised if the very successful MLB The Show makes its way to mobile through PlayStation Studios in the future. It likely will not be the same game, but a bespoke version for mobile that will possibly be free to play. As of now, if you want to play MLB The Show on the go, your options are the upcoming Nintendo Switch version or playing the Xbox version through xCloud if it is supported on the service. Have you played Sony’s MLB The Show over the years and what would you like to see in a potential mobile version?

Baseball is back in season with the release of MLB The Show 22, bringing even more new features and all-star players to the long-loved franchise.

Since the first MLB game was released in 1997, there's been a new game every subsequent year to commemorate the current players and their careers while also giving fans new gaming experiences.

The newest game features full cross-play and cross-progression across the game's many platforms, letting you play whenever, wherever, with whoever you want (for the most part). But is MLB The Show 22 available on PC? Or is there a way to play it on your gaming PC?

Is 'MLB The Show 22' available for PC?

Unfortunately, while the franchise is finally expanding beyond being a PlayStation exclusive, the game has yet to make its way to PC. MLB The Show 22 is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

It's currently unclear why the developers didn't make the leap to include the game on PC, and at this time there is no future release date for the game on PC. That being said, more and more console-exclusive games are being ported to the PC, so it's possible the game will eventually make its way to your desktop in the future.

The game is also available on Xbox Game Pass for those who have a subscription, meaning you don't have to pay for it as long as it's available with the subscription.

While you may not be able to play a PC version of the game, you can definitely play the game on your computer through Xbox's remote gaming option, or PlayStation's remote play. Either of these options allow for you to stream the game to play on your PC (or mobile device, if you prefer), though you'll have to own the console of choice for this to work.

Those who purchased certain editions of the new MLB the Show 22 game have already started the baseball game, thanks to the preorder's early access. The game, which releases on April 5 for Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles, brings exciting new features to the popular video game franchise.

With this game being available on so many platforms, players are, of course, wondering about its cross-platform compatibility and what multiplayer options are available.

Does 'MLB the Show 22' support cross-platform play?

The newest baseball game is available for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch (though there's no port to PC planned anytime in the near future). Fortunately, this game also supports cross-platform play, regardless of what console you're friends have. Yes, this includes both new and previous generation consoles. That means even if you have a PS4, you can play with your friends on their Xbox Series X/S or Nintendo Switch.

Does 'MLB the Show 22' have cross-progression?

Another win for those who decide to pick up MLB the Show 22: The game supports full cross-progression across platforms. This means that if you have the game for both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation, for example, you can save your progress to the cloud and pick up where you left off on the other console.

Of course, you'll have to purchase a copy of the game for whichever consoles you want to play across, as one copy of the game does not work for any console other than the one you bought it for. But so long as you have the different versions of the game and sign into your MLB the Show account on both platforms, you should be able to play across consoles seamlessly with an internet connection.

There are specific caveats to this, though. For example, certain items, like any stubs you've purchased, will remain exclusive to the console you purchased them on.

For example, if you purchase stubs for your PlayStation copy of the game, you can't then use those purchased stubs to buy items on the Nintendo Switch or Xbox. That being said, stubs you earn throughout gameplay will be available to spend regardless of which platform you play on.

What multiplayer options are available in 'MLB the Show 22'?

Unlike previous MLB the Show games, the newest installment offers competitive, co-op online multiplayer options. This means that friends can team up in either pairs or trios to face off against others online.

In this setup, one friend will play the pitcher, while another will cover the middle infield, and the third takes the right field. You can also combine your Diamond Dynasty collections in this game to form an incredibly strong team.

In another move unlike the previous games, MLB the Show 22 also will not have a way for players to compete in teams against AI players, meaning the only way to play online is against others.

What devices can you play MLB The Show 22 on?

MLB The Show 22 is compatible with the Backbone One on any iPhone running iOS 15.0 or newer. Transform your phone into the ultimate game console. Snap in and play any game or service that supports controllers, including Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Apple Arcade, or even stream directly from your Xbox, PlayStation, or PC.

Can I play MLB The Show 21 on my phone?

The live MLB Network stream is available on iPhone, iPad and supported Android phones and tablets via the MLB app and on PC/Mac through MLBNetwork.com/Watch.

Will MLB The Show ever be on mobile?

It likely will not be the same game, but a bespoke version for mobile that will possibly be free to play. As of now, if you want to play MLB The Show on the go, your options are the upcoming Nintendo Switch version or playing the Xbox version through xCloud if it is supported on the service.

Is MLB the show on Nintendo?
