Sony stated MLB is the reason the Show is on Xbox GamePass

[Leasy]

Yup you read that right Xbox with a power move.

'MLB The Show 21' on Game Pass redefines the Xbox vs. PlayStation rivalry (inverse.com)

According to Ampere’s comments, Xbox Game Pass now has over 18 million subscribers. As such, it makes a lot of sense that MLB would see it as an attractive opportunity.

“For some titles, launching day one into Game Pass is an increasingly risk-averse strategy: It secures a payment upfront, offers an engaged audience of over 18 million subscribers that can still be monetized through in-game spending, and there is the flexibility of removing the title to boost premium sales at a later date if required,” Harding-Rolls says.

“Those titles that are not top-tier in sales volume terms or that are based on new IP — i.e., do not have an established audience — could be solid candidates for day one releases,’ he adds.

No he getting it for free. 70 plus taxes for Sony compared to 15 with 200 other plus games. That's free to me

Either way it’s a great value game is probably full of in game purchases but I’m just trying to run a franchise

15 a month for this and a ton of other games or 75 for a one time purchase of just this It would take 5 months for the price to add up

Sell 3 million units across Xbox platforms for $200 million…or get $XXX million from MS to put it on GP?

 

[darealvelle]

18 million people are not going to play the show ...


I would estimate 7 million people try it for a few days and never play it again and only the die hards will pick it up after that initial week
