Out of the Park Baseball 26 (OOTP 26), the 26th and latest installment in the award-winning MLB strategy series, is now available on PC. Across both Steam and the official website, players can take advantage of a 10% launch discount for one week starting March 14.
The fans have turned Out of the Park Baseball into a grand-slam hit because OOTP gives a one-of-a-kind experience: managing every aspect of your own MLB team. From drafting superstars, wheeling and dealing in high-stakes trades, and staffing your ball club, all the way down to calling every play and pitch in live 3D games, OOTP offers something for everyone and is the only game of its kind on the PC platform.
Never satisfied with excellence, for Year 26, the development studio adds new ways to play that reflect the excitement of real-world baseball. For the first time in OOTP history, step up to the international plate by playing in the World Baseball Classic. Play the Qualifiers this season (happening both in-game and out in the world), then dive in next year when the real WBC clubs, participants, and schedules are added. And get involved in the MLB Draft like never before, with new tools for scouting and signing young talent.
This year’s game puts a major focus on enhancing and refining fan-favorite features, staying true to the OOTP fans know and love. Player Development Lab returns with new ways to develop player skills and track their progress, putting more metrics and choices at your disposal as a manager. The mega-popular Perfect Team multiplayer mode is bigger than ever, with more competitions, more licensed legends, and the ability to choose your own rewards at the new Clubhouse Rewards Shop. Com2uS’ partnership with the National Baseball Hall of Fame brings even more licensed Hall of Famers into the game, while Drive For The Pennant now allows you to play any season in MLB history.
“Out of the Park is our love letter to every kind of baseball fan, whether they’re seeking a numbers-driven management experience or thrilling on-the-field action,” said Richard Grisham, Director of Business Development at Com2uS. “We have the fans to thank for 26 amazing years of OOTP, and so we’re devoted to enhancing the features they’ve told us they love. At Com2uS, we know baseball, love baseball, and treasure our partnerships with MLB, MLB Players, Inc., and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.”
“OOTP continues to be an incredible historical record of the beloved icons who have graced our sport,” said Evan Kaplan, Managing Director of MLB Players, Inc. “Drive For The Pennant will celebrate that rich tradition like never before, letting players peek back into baseball history at the athletes who defined it.”
“Baseball’s international fandom continues to grow, and the MLB Draft has never drawn more excitement and viewers,” said Jamie Leece, MLB Senior Vice President, Gaming & VR. “We are incredibly excited about the debut of the World Baseball Classic and new ways to experience the MLB Draft in OOTP this year.
