MLB: The Show is seemingly finally coming to PC

While MLB: The Show had for the longest time been a PlayStation console exclusive (owing to it being developed by Sony’s San Diego studio), the annual baseball series was finally brought over to Xbox following a renegotiation of the series’ licensing contracts. That said, MLB: The Show has yet to make its way to the PC platform. Fortunately, it appears as though this might be changing soon.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘Aspect’, Sony San Diego recently published a new job listing for a Senior Graphics PC Programmer, with the description reading as follows:

“Come join San Diego Studio making a AAA PC title. Our focus is on delivering innovative, high quality gaming experiences. We are seeking a Senior PC Graphics Programmer to join our team in advancing the visual and technical quality of a AAA PC title.”

It continues, “You will focus on writing and optimizing our PC engine, debugging performance issues, implementing new graphics features, and ensuring the game takes full advantage of platform specific technologies offered by NVIDIA and AMD.”

Though not yet officially announced, this all-but-confirms that MLB: The Show is planned to come to PCs in the future. Given that Sony San Diego has worked almost exclusively on MLB for the past 20 years, this job listing is unlikely to be referring to anything else.

Sports games in general are console-centric, with the likes of EA’s Sports FC and 2K’s NBA series selling best on console. That said, given that the series has already found its way onto Xbox (and later Switch), it makes sense that Sony would choose to support the PC platform regardless of whether their hand was forced or not.
