    How is it that they make it next-gen only, then remove it from Game pass, while also making it run on Switch which has 8 year old mobile hardware and gives you a horrible experience while playing. This game not being on Game Pass means that people like me with original Gen Xbox 1, have to go out and buy a 500$ console just to play the game as it was intended. Take it off game pass? Fine. But there being no PC port for people like me who have played the Show since 06? cmon man. this game is essentially a yearly official roster and soundtrack update.

    Sucks to be you, i guess. You should have known the day would come when it wouldnt be available on last gen consoles. They even gave an extra 3 years or so to get ready.

    I really don't get this argument. Yes, I understand that the PS4 and Xbox One, launched in 2013, are performance bottlenecks. Yet, cross-play is enabled on the Switch, which was technically not even close to the PS4 or Xbox One. The Switch 2 will basically be a PS4 Pro handheld in 2025.

    @Chezco_MLBTS Literally the PS5 has been out 5 years. This is pretty stock standard for when games go next gen only. You have plenty of ways to play it. You are choosing not to.

    Some of you are quite obviously missing the point. There are those of us who can easily afford a new console but don't see the point in buying a new one every few years for marginal upgrades when what we have works. Or have better things to spend our money on. Or whatever other reason you want to name. Taking it off PC in all ways is nothing more than a shallow attempt to prop up a floundering console market and like the good little brainless consumers you were taught to be, you not only defend the corporate vampires but you attack other humans. And you wonder why things are so messed up in the world today, this this is why. All bow to the all mighty dollar and your corporate overlords. SMH

    I’m on the Switch and I’m having a lot of fun. Yes the graphics aren’t great but the game runs well for someone who just plays casually offline.

    @Chezco_MLBTS I only agree with you bc they’re still running the same engine they’ve been running since Xbox one / PS4. Other than that, most games are gonna stop performing on the older systems so if you want to play new games you’re gonna have to get next gen console or a PC

    It is stupid they seem to want to move to next generation only, but then made it avail on switch, so they had to build the game to run on old gen hardware. Seems counterproductive. Doesn't sound like you're missing much tho

    I still remember all of those people saying that GRAPHICS WILL BE SO MUCH BETTER when they removed PS4 and Xbox One, but they didn't improve one iota, and performance didn't get any better either lmao. There was legitimately no benefit to MLB 25 the show being exclusive to current gen + switch

    It doesn't matter if you get it or not. They could probably still half [censored] a PS2 or a PS3 version of The Show if they wanted to, but it would cost more money than they would make in sales. The fact of the matter is that all things come to an end eventually. For people to act surprised like the PS5/XBX/S haven't been out for 5 years already is ridiculous.

    Sure, PC gaming is cheap and consumer friendly 🙄

    Do we really have to create such posts regularly? Way to beat a dead horse. It is not coming back to older consoles

    Fair enough, but you do see my point, though, right?

    Word is that MLB mandates Switch support, though one wonders how much longer than will remain the case. MLB The Show is coded differently and in an entirely different version for Switch.

    Still, I agree with the larger comments in this thread. XBox One was first released in 2014 for sale and is 2013 technology. In the computer world, that's ancient technology being it is of course 2025. I can certainly understand the value of money, but today even an 11-year old XBox One console is priced at about $250 on Amazon. So, the latest and best XBox X/S being listed on the same Amazon for $574 isn't unreasonable.

    A less expensive XBox S console with half the memory is listed on Amazon at $284.

    Im pretty sure they'll add it on xcloud. they've added non-gamepass games on xcloud the last 9 mo so no reason not to do the same w/ 25.
