Support NeoGAF

[viveks86]

Pretty much every studio is mandated to support PS5 Pro.

There are no technical reasons why SDS shouldn't be able to do something for the Pro, so I'm leaning towards contractual obligations.

I'm leaning more towards them not giving a fuck. SDS is notorious for don't-give-a-fuckery.

Normally Sony would release a game on PC and PS5, yet no PC version and yet they're putting out a Switch version but not PS4 version. There's obviously a lot to their arrangement with MLB.

Mandatory support means the game simply works. It doesn't mandate any improvements, you'll only get improvements from more available CUs (and bandwidth). It's like a boost mode with no (less) bugs. It was the same on PS4 Pro.

Not technical. They just didn't do it. They were already releasing better versions when they were making ps4 and xb1 and still are compared to switch and series s. Plus, Sony listed it as Pro enhanced and then removed it. In the faq they say it "runs smoothly"

Does MLB The Show 25 have any features or settings that take advantage of the PlayStation 5 Pro hardware?
While the game runs smoothly on the PlayStation 5 Pro, it does not include any exclusive enhancements or features beyond the standard performance.

As far as pc goes they know it will be cracked and once that happens with a game like this they won't see sales until they change the engine because it would just be easy to do roster updates and mods. There's a reason why PC hasn't had a big baseball release in over a decade. Konami just put psb on pc so we'll see how that goes.
