Backyard Baseball

Reimagined for modern platforms while honoring the spirit of the original series, the new title brings back fan-favorite characters, including backyard legend Pablo Sanchez, alongside updated gameplay, vibrant visuals, and expanded modes for modern players. This is the first time in 15 years that a new Backyard title will be available on modern consoles. This reimagined version of an all-time classic blends the best of modern gaming with the timeless charm that made it legendary. Play in 11 remastered stadiums, choose from 24 original teams, and compete across six unique game modes with a roster of 30 beloved Backyard characters.

From classic modes like pick-up games, reimagined modes like batting practice, and brand new modes that'll become instant hits, there's a world of Backyard fun waiting to be explored. Our game is packed full of exciting achievements, unlockable characters, and collectible rewards. One thing you won't find: microtransactions. Backyard Baseball is a fully modern game, but when it comes to rewards, we're proudly old-school: earn them!

The all-new Backyard Baseball offers something for players of any age and ability. Tutorials, accessibility features, and simple modes like T-ball make it the perfect intro to both baseball and gaming, while competitive modes give experienced players the chance to bunt, steal, and grind their way to victory. Everyone is welcome in the Backyard. Power-ups are back and crazier than ever, adding chaos and fun to every game. Pitchers can unleash Fire Balls, Crazy Balls, and Spitballs on unsuspecting hitters, while batters can wield Crazy Bunts, Undergrounders, and the legendary Aluminum Power Bat to rack up runs.
