They made an announcement on discord about it.

I can’t wait to play the New Backyard Baseball Game on Console coming out 8/18/2026. Now we already have some of your classic games back on Steam and Apple/Android Devices and Original Baseball on Consoles.

My question is for all of you what games do you think they will release next of the original games and where will be the released?

A follow up question as well. What games do you think they won’t bother to bring back in that they don’t think might get a good audience to play or it might be really hard to bring back?

Or at least Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez. Who says no?

I randomized a roster for BYK players, after every season I'll eliminate the worst performing player according to the community. For an added twist I'm not revealing any player's names until after they're eliminated, so for the sake of comments the first player in the screenshot order is "player one", the second is "player two", so on so forth. Simply comment which player in the lineup you think is the worst, and vote for other comments who mention that player. Whichever player receives the most combined upvotes after 24 hours will be replaced with another random Backyard Kid, and the cycle repeats until we find the (theoretically) perfect Backyard Baseball team. Just for added context, I'm playing this on hard difficultly with pitch/swing location off and errors on. I try to play to each player's strengths, and I don't use batting powerups so all of the batting statistics are authentic.

The home stadium will also be different every season; this season was played at Cement Gardens.

The order of the players in the screenshot is randomized, so don't assume the same player will be in the same lineup slot season to season for the sake of voting. Angela Delvecchio was voted as the permanent pitcher in a previous season; she is Player Four in this screenshot, she is the only player exempt from being voted out.

Previously eliminated players: Gretchen Hasselhoff, Ronny Dobbs, Kenny Kawaguchi, Billy Jean Blackwood, Kimmy Eckman, Jocinda Smith, Annie Frazier, Lisa Crockett, Ricky Johnson, Dante Robinson, and both Webber twins. Who will join them?

>As you play, whether it be Backyard Derby, Season Mode, or Quick Play, you’ll earn various amounts of tokens. These tokens can then be exchanged for packs of baseball cards.

>Now, to be clear, these aren’t microtransaction purchases. Backyard Baseball is a game with zero microtransactions. Instead, everything you unlock and purchase in the game is earned through gameplay and nothing else.

>When you get enough Tokens, you’ll be able to buy a pack that features one of four types of cards across three categories—Aces, Speedsteers, and Sluggers. As you buy cards, they will be added to your card binder, each having unique writeups and voice lines.

fun news!

Did anyone catch the link for the Backyard Baseball popup store?

Something that I did not liked about the backyard Baseball games is how you get power ups for regular double and triple plays but never for strike a player out then throw the player out that caught stealing.that should count as a double play. I don't remember but did the 3D games after BB 2003 included power ups for turning a double play on a strike em out throw em out and will they include that in the new game?

With the World Cup in full swing, I was curious: what is everyone’s favorite version of Backyard Soccer — ‘98? MLS? ‘04? — and why?
