MLB The Show 22 launches day one with Xbox Game Pass on April 5.
Shohei Ohtani’s 2021 season was one for the ages. Hitting 46 home runs, 100 RBIs, and stealing 26 bases while also having a 9-2 record on the mound with a 3.18 ERA and 156 strikeouts. Vince Lombardi Jr. once said, “The man on top of the mountain didn’t fall there.” Ohtani might seem like an overnight success here in the United States, but he’s been climbing the impossible mountain since his teenage years attending Hanamaki Higashi High School in Japan.
After having one of the greatest seasons in the history of Major League Baseball, Shohei Ohtani was really the only obvious choice to grace the cover of MLB The Show 22.
Today, we are thrilled to announce that MLB The Show 22 launches on April 5, 2022. The standard edition on Xbox One is $59.99 USD/$79.99 CAD. Standard edition on Xbox Series XIS is $69.99 USD/$89.99 CAD.
We’re also delighted to announce that MLB The Show 22 will be available with Xbox Game Pass on day one and will be available on April 5 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Cloud Gaming (Beta). Both MLB The Show 22 Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S Standard Editions will be included with Xbox Game Pass so members will be able to play the best version of the game regardless of which console they are on. And with cross-platform play and progress, you can play against others online, and earn and use content across the platform and generation you choose.
