About

New game modes. New ways to play. Unlockables to chase and achievements to earn! Welcome to the all-new Backyard Baseball. This reimagined version of an all-time classic blends the best of modern gaming with the timeless charm that made it legendary. Play in 11 remastered stadiums, choose from 24 original teams, and compete across 6 unique game modes with a roster of 30 beloved Backyard characters.

From classic modes like pick-up games, reimagined modes like batting practice, and brand new modes that’ll become instant hits, there’s a world of Backyard fun waiting to be explored.

Our game is packed full of exciting achievements, unlockable characters, and collectible rewards. One thing you won’t find: microtransactions. Backyard Baseball is a fully modern game, but when it comes to rewards, we’re proudly old-school: earn them!

The all-new Backyard Baseball offers something for players of any age and ability. Tutorials, accessibility features, and simple modes like T-ball make it the perfect intro to both baseball and gaming, while competitive modes give experienced players the chance to bunt, steal, and grind their way to victory. Everyone is welcome in the Backyard.

Power-ups are back and crazier than ever, adding chaos and fun to every game. Pitchers can unleash FIRE BALLS, CRAZY BALLS, and FREEZEBALLS on unsuspecting hitters, while batters can wield CRAZY BUNTS, UNDERGROUNDERS, and the legendary ALUMINUM POWER BAT to rack up runs.

I never thought I would see the day that Backyard Sports games return but here we are. Overall, the game has a good foundation. With some more polish it could be a real gem. It's also nice to play a sports game without microtransactions. Plenty of characters to unlock by playing the game. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☑ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☑ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10
WE WANT A BATTER NOT A BROKEN LATTER
Played for a few hours. The game feels easy to play yet hard to master once you factor all the variables.
Plays like I remember the old games playing, and seems to have a lot of fun new added content for season mode. Not a lot of depth, but that's the point. Love just hopping in to play a game or two when I'm trying to kill time. Bonus points for having super ultrawide support.
As someone who only played the classic games when they were made available on Steam, it is so satisfying when hitting home runs, getting strikeouts, and using the power-ups. It's just so simple and easy to get into the game, and there are small pack opening things, but it's like a memento, so I like how this game is made.
Fricken wonderful, thank you devs and BYS as a whole for doing such a wonderful job. Truly, thank you
Something about this game just scratches my competitiveness so I had fun doing trial and error with my teams strategy. I would say though that the best part of this game are still the characters and so I found their new animations and voice acting so entertaining. Can't wait to finish my card collection.
Just like the old games!!!
it is awsome so fun i love it and i love you tooooooo
The gameplay is really fun! I like playing baseball games and this one really hit me. Control is a bit confusing at first, but I get it eventually and hitting the ball feels really good. Playing with controller is even more fun! The fielding run is a bit slow right now, but overall it's a really enjoyable baseball game and gives a great experience. Definitely recommend!
