Roster
MLB The Show 21 includes full 40-man, AA, and AAA rosters for each Major League Baseball team, updated throughout the year. The game’s final roster update was released on November 5th, 2021, just after the end of the World Series.
Series Firsts
- This is the first game in the series released on non-PlayStation consoles. Cross-play is supported, so players on all versions of the game can join multiplayer sessions together online.
- This is the first game in the series released on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S generation of consoles.
- The stadium creator feature was introduced, for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions only. Players can create, share, and download custom ballparks, allowing for unusual field dimensions and custom scenery.
- It’s now possible (and borderline mandatory, the way the story pushes you towards it repeatedly) to be a two-way player in Road to the Show mode, playing some games as a position player and some as a pitcher.
