For many years, Sony has had a monopoly on Major League Baseball video games, and MLB: The Show titles could only be found on PlayStation consoles. However, in 2019, Sony made the surprising announcement that MLB: The Show would be heading to other platforms. This came into effect with MLB: The Show 21 which was released on both Xbox and PlayStation consoles. With the upcoming release of MLB: The Show 22, the franchise will expand its reach once more by releasing on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.
