In order to extend the popularity of the game franchise, MLB The Show will be coming to “additional console platforms beyond PlayStation platforms as early as 2021.” In other words, the baseball game will no longer be a PlayStation-exclusive title starting in 2021.
Though the press release does not specify what consoles will see MLB The Show, both Xbox and Nintendo retweeted a message by MLB Communications.
No more away games. https://t.co/47Bui1tuUj

Great to see the game is coming to more players. https://t.co/a54bZ2c2bU

Another missing piece of the puzzle is if one or more studios will port the game to rival consoles.
More details about the arrival of MLB The Show to other consoles will be announced at a later date.
