For starters, the cover athlete this time around is Fernando “El Nino” Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres. In addition to appearing on Xbox platforms for the first time, MLB The Show 21 will feature cross-platform multiplayer, so you can play against anyone, regardless of what console you’re using. It also supports “cross-progression,” which lets you pick up where you left off on a different platform, even if it’s a different console build. As for the new features of MLB The Show 21, we don’t have much to do. The official description of the game states that it will offer modes for players of all skill levels. It will include Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty. You will also be able to play as new legends. The dev team says additional information will be featured in six “Feature Premier” feeds, the first of which will arrive in March. So stay tuned.
