Home Run Derby VR debuted at the 2017 All-Star Game FanFest in Miami, a series of fun baseball-themed events and experiences scheduled around the game for baseball fans to enjoy. It’s a testament to the smart way that MLBAM uses all the parts of the buffalo when it comes to the software it develops. The batting practice game has its origins in a product that MLBAM created last year, an experimental ballpark attraction that became so wildly successful that the company is expanding it in 2018 - both to additional stadiums and to the gaming audience. The company announced today that it is also developing MLB Home Run Derby VR, a smaller experience that the studio is planning to release on PlayStation VR and HTC Vive this spring.
Baseball 18 isn’t the only video game that MLB Advanced Media is making this year.
