“Two decades ago, I never would have dreamed we could accomplish something like Out of the Park Baseball 20,” said lead developer, lifelong baseball fan, and Out of the Park Developments CEO Markus Heinsohn. “This is the ultimate vision of what we set out to do so long ago. Every single member of the OOTP community has contributed to this - fans, beta testers, our friends in the major and minor leagues, our developers, and our research staff. We’re beyond delighted and can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on it.”

Out of the Park Baseball 20 is the biggest, best, and most ambitious game we’ve ever made,” said Out of the Park Developments CMO Richard Grisham. “Thanks to the investments we’ve made in infrastructure, live services, and AI over the past few years, Out of the Park Baseball 20 offers something for every possible kind of player - and it will evolve all season long in ways we never could have done before. Everyone who gives it a try will love it.”

Key Features:

  • For the first time ever - integrated live services all season long! Start a new MLB game any day during the regular season and Postseason with up-to-date rosters, standings, stats and player ratings, or to update player ratings in your current game based on their current performances.
  • All new motion-capture-powered 3D animations, driving a supercharged in-game experience
