Xbox One and PC Getting Acclaimed Sports Game Super Mega Baseball Soon

The Xbox One and PC versions of acclaimed indie sports game Super Mega Baseball will arrive in August.

Developer Metalhead Software on Tuesday announced that the enhanced "Extra Innings" version will be released on August 14 for Xbox One and August 21 on PC through Steam. Both versions will cost $20, but Xbox One owners who preorder will receive a 15 percent discount. Preorders open August 7.

This special offer was only announced for Xbox One.

The Extra Innings version of Super Mega Baseball includes additional content, including more stadiums, as well as "enhanced gameplay and improved baseball simulation." These new features and content will also be made available in the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions of Super Mega Baseball through a free patch and DLC in September.

“Right now there are few options for quality, accessible sports titles on the market, particularly when it comes to baseball games on the Xbox One and PC," Metalhead co-founder Scott Drader said in a statement back in May.

"We're really looking to put this genre back on the map for more casual fans, especially the younger generation of gamers who haven't had access to the types of games that were common during their parents' generation," he added. "Games that could introduce a sport to the uninitiated and turn them into fans for life."

Super Mega Baseball is not a licensed game, so don't expect to see your favorite Major League Baseball players or stadiums in the game. If that's a deal-breaker, you can play MLB 15: The Show on PlayStation consoles or RBI Baseball 15 on Xbox and PC.

Super Mega Baseball lets you play against the CPU or with up to four friends via local co-p. The game boasts a strong score of 85 on GameSpot sister site Metacritic.
