MLB: The Show was developed by San Diego Studio and published by Sony Interactive. So, it will be available on the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5, the tech company's most advanced console.

The game also comes with a dual entitlement with the purchase of the MVP Edition. This means the game will still be playable if the buyer wants to upgrade his console and purchase a PlayStation 5. This is common practice with other popular sports video game titles such as soccer's EAFC and NFL's Madden line.

MLB: The Show's history

Baseball's most recognizable video game franchise premiered on February 28, 2006: MLB: The Show 06. David Ortiz was selected as the game's cover athlete, and it was launched for the PlayStation and the PlayStation 2.

Since then, it's been a who's who of video game covers ranging from Shohei Ohtani to Yasiel Puig. NBC and FOX Sports broadcaster Matt Vasgersian has lent his voice to the game for the longest time. However, since MLB: The Show 22, he has been replaced by Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton. The two ended his 16-year streak as the game's in-game commentator.
