I hope PS+ does the same, but I doubt it.

I am interested in the PS5 version.

Motherfucker. I literally pre-ordered the PS5 digital version last night. I could have played this on my Xbone for no extra money?!

The hilarious thing about this is

1. You know Sony is too cheap and hates its customer base too much to do this with PS Now.

2. Sony isn't even seeing any money with this because MLB is technically the publisher for the Xbox version.

Yes because Sony developed it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLB_The_Show_21

Check "Publisher", click on the [a]

MLB publishes the game's Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S versions

MLB literally forced Sony to release the game for Xbox as part of the new license agreement, and in the future they want it on Switch and PC as well.

Sony isn't seeing any money out of this outside of what they'd normally see as the developer and there's zero chance they had any say in this decision, considering they are literally not the publisher of the game in question.

Well I also get to play it 4 days early. I also get an extra player pack, which i'll admit isn't really all that great. But for other games there's sometimes decent stuff behind pre-orders.

Plus you act like I can't cancel it.

Although, thinking about it more, i'm not pissed it's on Gamepass. That's cool and awesome for Xbox owners. If I would have the next gen Xbox I might consider canceling my preorder. Or if gamepass would have the game guaranteed for 2 years, which is the time frame i'll buy the new one, i'd consider canceling.

I don't get why Sony would agree to this to be on Xbox Game Pass...maybe this is a way to gauge how popular it is with their title to see how they would manage a PlayStation Game Pass?

From what I've seen others say, MLB is effectively acting as the publisher here, so this may not be Sony's call to make.

MLB held a gun to their head of releasing The Show on Xbox or they lose the license. MLB is publishing it for the Xbox and Sony is publisher on Playstation. So this deal was penned by MLB, not Sony.

I'm honestly now starting to think that Microsoft went to MLB and the MLBPA and was like "Hey you see this cash? Get The Show on Xbox and it's yours".

Sony may own the IP but they also need the sales, and being a one-platform-only game is a problem

That's nothing - Sony owns the IP to Sunset Overdrive due to buying Insomniac. One wonders how that works, being on Game Pass.

They own the IP but Microsoft has the publishing rights for Xbox. So I think they can do whatever they want with the first game but thats it.

There will never be a Sunset Overdrive 2 unless Microsoft buys the IP from Insomniac/Sony.

Owning the IP also means nothing if you need the licensing. No one is going to buy "Independent League Baseball: The Show" lol.

Right now, they might not. But they've got a lot of money in the bank that they don't mind spending to get people into their ecosystem for the long haul.

I agree but they have a shit ton of games on Gamepass. And some really big budget AAA games to boot.
