Sony dropped MLB The Show Mobile as a free-to-play game exclusively in the Philippines for testing, with San Diego Studio building the entire experience from scratch for touchscreen controls and card-based team building. The company might be waiting to see how it performs before launching globally, around when MLB The Show 26 hits early next year, which would make sense since America represents a huge chunk of the baseball market.
The trailer shows off the interface designed for mobile devices, plus a card collection system where players assemble their dream roster, which is probably where the monetization happens. This marks another platform expansion for the franchise after it became the first PlayStation exclusive to jump to Xbox when the league forced cross-platform availability.
