Sony Soft-Launches MLB The Show Mobile in the Philippines

The regional test introduces a free-to-play, standalone take built for phones with card-driven progression.

Overview

  • The game is live only in the Philippines on the App Store and Google Play, with no announced timeline for broader availability.
  • San Diego Studio built the mobile entry in-house as a separate experience that does not support cross-play with console versions.
  • Players collect more than 1,100 MLB player cards, build rosters, and engage in solo and PvP modes featuring skill-based batting, pitching, and fielding.
  • Mobile-first systems include real-time runner control via Risk It and a Momentum mechanic tied to player cards and in-inning strategy.
  • Soft-launch rules allow unspent Stubs to carry over, convert unopened purchased packs and items into Loyalty Shop currency at launch, and wipe most progress; iPhones on iOS 26 and Android phones on Android 12 are required, with optimization for newer high-end devices and no tablet support.
