Another PlayStation game may be coming to PC

Fans have spotted a job ad that may indicate MLB The Show is coming to PC in the near future. Console exclusivity has slowly fallen out of favor in the gaming industry in recent years, and Sony has launched many of its previously exclusive products on PC as part of that trend. Now it seems like the sequel to MLB The Show 25 could be the next title to make that jump.

Several games from Sony-owned studios have already made their way to PC. PlayStation games like Helldivers 2 and God of War Ragnarok are available on Steam and don't always require a PSN account to play, after a recent change, either. Not all Sony franchises have left consoles, though, but if a new job posting is anything to go by, there could be at least one more franchise to follow the trend before long.

Job posting suggests The MLB Show is coming to PC

A recent job posting reveals that San Diego Studio, the Sony-owned brand behind MLB The Showhiring a PC developer. According to the listing, the company is “making a AAA PC title,” which seems to point to a future MLB The Show games, as the sports franchise stands out as its biggest and most notable IP. Baseball sim is a natural fit for PC as well, considering it's been available on competing consoles for a long time now. The series has even regularly made it to Xbox Game Pass on day one MLB The Show 25 broke the four-year Xbox Game Pass streak, but despite this long history of being on Microsoft systems, it hasn't come to PC yet. The next entry may be the one to change that.

A PC version of the long-running baseball franchise would also make sense in light of PlayStation's live service ambitions. Games like MLB The Show and Helldivers 2 drove more than 40% of Sony's first-party software revenue in the most recent quarter, despite some live service titles not performing as intended. To give a success which MLB The Show to a wider audience could help Sony double down on its long-term goals and make a bigger splash with its live service games.

Of course, there is no confirmation of that MLB The Show is the “AAA PC title” in question. Even if it is, it is unclear whether MLB The Show 26 or 27 will be the first entry in the annually released sports series to make it to PC. There are also rumors about it MLB The Show could be coming to mobile devices, so there could be big news for the franchise moving forward.
