Sony Announces, Soft Launches MLB The Show Mobile for iOS and Android

Sony's latest push into mobile territory is MLB The Show Mobile, just announced and soft launched in the Philippines.

Developed in-house at San Diego Studio — developer of the main MLB The Show series — you can get a sense of the free-to-play game in the below trailer:

The official website describes MLB The Show Mobile as "a new standalone experience built from the ground up to deliver realistic baseball gameplay on mobile devices".

Built for both iOS and Android, the game is currently only available in the Philippines, but it'll come to more territories in future.

The game will feature current and legacy players, as well as all real stadiums.

You'll be able to bat, pitch, and field using touch controls, and you'll gradually build your dream team by collecting player cards. You can then earn XP and upgrade your players to make them more valuable.

For Sony's mobile plans, this seems like a no-brainer — bringing one of its popular franchises to a whole new audience.

Hopefully the global rollout won't be too far away so everyone can get to grips with this new take on MLB The Show.
