Great news for fans wanting to play ball on the go! Backyard Baseball ’97 will be released for Android and iOS devices on March 27th. This is the first mobile game from the Backyard Sports series since 2020 and could lead to more games from the franchise being released on mobile.
While details are still limited, the publisher has confirmed a key feature: the mobile version will be ad-free and will not include microtransactions. Players can enjoy uninterrupted gameplay and an offline mode will also be available.
