Sony announces MLB The Show 25 as last game for PS4 marking end of cross-gen support

The transition from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to newer consoles is nearing its end. Sony announced that MLB The Show 25 will be the last game to support PS4, marking a shift in focus to the PS5 and Xbox Series. Previously, many game series, including Call of Duty and Madden NFL, continued to support older consoles for several years after the launch of new systems. This extended support has now lasted longer than in previous transitions, with some games offering up to five years of cross-gen availability. Despite the extended support, sales for older console versions have declined. Game publishers are now reassessing the viability of supporting older hardware as they plan for future releases.
