The developers confirmed the move as they rolled out a soft launch in the Philippines. You now get a clear look at how the series plans to bring its console-first gameplay to mobile.
The team behind the game says this mobile version is a brand-new standalone experience. They explain that it was built from scratch for phones, not ported from consoles. This early rollout in the Philippines helps them test the game in real conditions. They said on their announcement post that this is only step one as they study feedback and prepare for wider access.
You can already view the App Store preview in the region. This small release sets the stage for the global launch, and it gives fans a first look at how realistic baseball will feel on mobile. The studio also noted on its website that the twenty-year anniversary of the series makes this expansion the right moment for a bigger push.
