It looks like we have our first confirmation that MLB The Show 21 will be releasing on Xbox systems this year. The game's box art has leaked and shows the PS5 and Xbox One versions of the game with the PlayStation logo on them. It must be what Mario and Sonic felt when they finally teamed up for the Olympics.

The crazy part? Seeing a big PlayStation Studios logo right on the front of the boxart of an Xbox Game Case

The covers, which Sony has yet to officially confirm, feature San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando TatÃs Jr. gracing the cover in the past. It didn't always go the way Sony had hoped, like when Yasiel Puig was the star of 2015 and ended up with one of the worst seasons of his career.
At least for the Xbox version, it doesn't appear to be eligible for a free next-gen upgrade. The box illustration only lists the Xbox One, although we assume there will also be an Xbox Series X version | S. It would certainly be a bit tricky for Sony to only offer the “best” version of the game on its own system.
Sony first announced in late 2019 that it was ending the PlayStation exclusive for MLB The Show. At the time, it was said that 2021 would be the first for the series to expand to other platforms, and Phil Spencer and Nintendo of America's Twitter account hailed the move. It's unclear if this year's game will also arrive on Nintendo Switch.
