PlayStation Job Listing Hints at MLB The Show Mobile Expansion
A new leak has sparked rumors that MLB The Show, one of PlayStation’s most successful sports franchises, may soon debut on mobile devices. The speculation began when Reddit user AngieK22 spotted a new job listing on PlayStation’s official site for a Senior Project Manager position dedicated to “MLB The Show Mobile.”
The position would be based at San Diego Studio and would focus on bringing the console experience of MLB The Show to mobile platforms like iOS and Android. This includes driving new product features, enhancing existing systems, and optimizing monetization strategies.
In-App Purchases and Live Events Expected
While the job post didn’t reveal specific gameplay details, it did confirm that the mobile version would feature in-game purchasing systems and live events — both standard in popular mobile sports games. This approach mirrors that of other successful MLB mobile titles like MLB 9 Innings and MLB Perfect Inning.
The chosen candidate would also work closely with production, marketing, and analytics teams to ensure a full-featured experience that caters to both returning console players and mobile-first users.
PlayStation Looking Beyond Consoles
This move aligns with PlayStation’s broader strategy of bringing its exclusive IPs to a wider player base. With MLB The Show 25 already making waves on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, a mobile version could attract millions of additional players worldwide.
However, some fans are divided. While many are excited about a new way to experience MLB The Show on the go, others argue that Sony should prioritize bringing the game to PC or Switch 2 instead of launching a new mobile entry.
Still in Early Stages
At this point, MLB The Show Mobile is still unconfirmed and clearly in the early stages of development. No screenshots, release window, or gameplay details have been released. But the job listing alone confirms PlayStation’s intention to expand the MLB franchise into the mobile space — likely leveraging live content and microtransactions to fuel its growth.
For now, all eyes are on Sony San Diego Studio to see if MLB The Show Mobile becomes the franchise’s next home run hit.
