MLB: The Show may be waiting in the wings, and Super Mega Baseball 3 may have already hit for a home run, but today we see R.B.I. Baseball 21 step up to the plate, ready to batter up for victory. 

Present and correct for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (Optimised), PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC, R.B.I. Baseball 21 is the latest in the ever increasingly long line of baseball titles to come to console and PC. This is the eighth title in the long running series developed by Major League Baseball and with it comes an all-new All-Star roster, this time lead by cover athlete Tom Anderson of the Chicago White Sox. 

Priced at £24.99 from the Xbox Store – if you’re preferring to line up on other formats, that price may vary very slightly – R.B.I. Baseball 21 continues with the age-old legacy of offering up arcade styled baseball – just this time with a whole host of new features and enhancements. 

In fact, the list of new in-demand offerings on the table with R.B.I. Baseball 21 is pretty slick, with play-by-play comms, a create-a-player mode, tons of data, numerous scenarios and a whole range of customisation options letting you amend batting controls and the camera. Throw in all 30 MLB clubs and their players, more than 165 Legendary folk for good measure, and player models that bring the realism more than ever before and the job is certainly a good ‘un here.
