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.

Backyard Baseball is iconic because we play the game a little differently than most. Follow these rules and let the fun begin!
PICK YOUR TEAM: Choose from 30 beloved Backyard kids to assemble your roster.
SET YOUR LINE UP: Assign positions and a batting order. Choose wisely!
PLAY LIKE A KID: In the Backyard there are no injuries, and while all kids make errors, it is a feature you can turn off. Need to use a tee? No problem! There are plenty of ways to customize your experience, but above all: have fun and Play Like a Kid™!

Pablo Sanchez is gonna be the next Lebron
This is easily the best baseball game i have ever played! And this is all i need you to know have a fun time playing backyard baseball.
A bit overpriced for its current state, but very fun regardless. Some bugs that could use some ironing out. If you are looking to get this game I'd say give it a bit more time to bake or just pick it up when its on sale.
Very fun for all ages but price is a little steep for what is offered (8/10) I've played the game enough to have completed a first playthrough and will be starting a Backyard Legend playthrough very soon. I love the game and what the team have done with not only the legacy of Backyard Sports but with sports game as a whole. I didn't grow up with the games but like many have watched the boom of Backyard Baseball across YouTube but its everything the game should be: It's fun, its relaxing and I see how it evokes nostalgia. Replayability is one aspect I look for in games to make sure I get my moneys worth and having a locked hardest difficulty is great. With my love for the game, I do wish to see it succeed and there are few areas that can be improved: 1. While I love how there are no micro-transactions to be found in game, I like many others found the price of $60 AUD to be on the more expensive side. While in a world where games have bumped up their prices, I feel as if Backyard Sports as a game for all ages should also thrive on the accessibility, allowing everyone to have fun! Possibly lowering the pirice to $40-45AUD I think is more justifiable. 2. There are few bugs in game to do with audio overlapping where multiple characters are speaking over the top of each other or environmental collisions occuring mulitple times. I would also love to have a dedicated play-off/tournment mode where 16 teams compete to win, allowing an in between option if players want to compete in a longer game-mode but can't dedicate time to the league games (just on my wish list).
ok ok this game is SO fun. but for 40$ it something. But there is new good game modes to play. I played the 1997 version on the switch and I LOVED it. So seeing this come out made me more exiced. So I think this is a great game to play.
Best game ever
Doing my part; very fun game, definitely worth your time to help support further updates for that good ol' Backyard Baseball. Hopefully base price comes down around 10 bucks, but theres enough content to keep you satisfied. Here's hoping to more!
worth it for the nostalgia hit you will get, but $40 is a bit too steep.
Super fun game
This game was a formative experience, I feel 8 years old again.
