To our fans,
In just 2 short days, you will get to experience a game that has been a true labor of love.
Every small detail of this game has been poured over, deeply considered, and carefully crafted with one goal in mind: delivering the most authentic and incredible Backyard Baseball experience possible.
You will feel and see that care when you play.
It is that same unending commitment to quality that has led us to make the difficult decision to push online play. In our lead-up to launch, we found that the online experience wasn’t yet meeting the standard we’ve set for the rest of the game.
Online multiplayer is still coming, just not day 1.
One of the things we're proudest of is that Backyard Baseball is a modern game you can fully enjoy offline. From fast, classic pick-up games to a season-long quest for the championship, the complete core experience is available at launch. New features like create-a-kid and design-a-bat take the game to the next level, alongside our new in-game rewards and baseball card collecting system. We've also packed the game with plenty of surprises for you to discover, including achievements, interactables, rewards, new modes, and unlockable characters, fields, and more.
For those who have been patiently waiting for online mode, we apologize and kindly ask for your patience just a little longer. Your experience is our priority, and we want to assure you that we will work tirelessly to launch this mode with the playability that you deserve. In the meantime, please join us in celebrating the return of Backyard Baseball by diving into core gameplay!
Opening Day is July 9th! It’s early innings for us, but we’re committed to delivering a complete game of excellence to you. Thank you for being an invaluable part of our community.
