This is a huge win for anyone on Xbox with Game Pass looking to play the only official MLB baseball sim. You don’t generally see sports organizations playing ball when it comes to subscription or streaming services out of the gate. Most notably EA with Madden and FIFA generally come to these services a while after launch.
Xbox Game Pass continues to provide the best deal in gaming and it seems like we have a new reason to say that every week. Just this week, People Can Fly’s newest game Outriders launched on the service on day one.
