MLB The Show 22 is a 2022 baseball video game developed by San Diego Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The seventeenth installment in the MLB: The Show series, it was released for the PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, as well as Nintendo Switch, a first for the franchise.[1] Los Angeles Angels two-way (pitcher and batter) player and 2021 American League MVP Shohei Ohtani is featured as the cover star.[1] A special manga style art by Takashi Okazaki of Shohei Ohtani is featured on the cover art for the MVP and Digital Deluxe editions of MLB The Show 22.[2]
For the second consecutive year, the Xbox versions of the game are available for Xbox Game Pass subscribers at no additional cost.[3] People who purchased the MVP or Digital Deluxe editions received early access to the game starting April 1.[4]
It marked one of the first MLB The Show games without any competitors in the United States, either simulation or arcade, as the R.B.I. Baseball series ended due to the Switch getting a port, although in Japan, the sole competitor is the latest entry in Konami's Power Pros series, eBaseball Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2022.
