PlayStation’s baseball exclusive makes the jump to Xbox

Not a huge step forward in terms of gameplay, the real news here is that The Show has finally made the jump to Xbox – and is available on Game Pass. This is still a very good baseball sim, but now there’s also a nod to that influx of new players, with a broader range of difficulty settings to help new pitchers and hitters get used to it. Elsewhere, the biggest new addition is the Stadium Creator tool, which offers a greater level of customisation than you’ll get anywhere else – giving users control of everything from the location of the hot dog stands, to the cityscape in the background. Skip to the end: Still good baseball, but now on more consoles.

SCORE: 8/10
