MLB The Show 21 is a 2021 baseball video game developed by San Diego Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

MLB Advanced Media co-published digital versions on Xbox consoles due to PlayStation's rivalry with Microsoft.

[1] San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatís Jr. is featured as the cover star, and at age 22 is the youngest player to do so.

"[11] GamesRadar+ gave the game 4/5 stars, calling it "a solid home-run hitter, but not the baseball revolution we were hoping for on PS5 and Xbox Series X."

IGN gave it 8/10, saying: "MLB The Show 21 isn't the generational leap forward we might've expected following a new console launch, but it's still the best baseball sim you can play on any platform."
