"MLB The Show 21" was only a leak report among console news headlines last month. Now, Sony confirmed that the franchise baseball game is set to launch in April on Playstation and for the first time, on Xbox.

'MLB The Show 21' Xbox And Other Consoles Pre-order Details

Brian Mazique of Forbes is a fortune teller in disguise when he predicted way back September last year that the cover photo of "MLB The Show 21." will be San Diego Padres' baseball shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. The young star who will now start his third season in MLB after batting 22 home runs and recording a batting average of 0.317 in 84 games.

As described in Mazique's article, "MLB The Show'' was not as popular as other sports games like "NBA", "NFL's Madden" and "FIFA. "The 'next-gen sports game that nobody is talking about' will likely be the last franchise of Sony Playstation, with it now heading to the Xbox console.

In a report by Paste Magazine, Sony San Diego online community manager and designer Ramone Russel raised confirmation about the Playstation's announcement on the first day of February. The decision was a surprise to the company.

It will be recalled that in December last year, the expansion of the "MLB The Show" in Playstation is said to happen in 2021, as revealed by Major League Baseball in its past announcement.

When the revelation was pronounced to the public, Nintendo and Xbox hinted that they could be adopting the "MLB The Show" series. Last week, the teaser from Xbox seemed to be true, when the news about its cover spread on gaming communities and websites. For Nintendo, the Switch version of the huge baseball series is yet to be revealed.
