Following the launch of the updated version of Backyard Baseball ’97 in October 2024, it was announced by Playground Productions and Mega Cat Studios that Backyard Baseball ’01 would be one of the upcoming remastered games. Now, the game is scheduled for release in early July, and Playground Productions has confirmed that 28 out of a total of 31 Major League Baseball players from the original Backyard Baseball ’01 will reappear in the remaster.
The announcement failed to clarify which among the three Major League Baseball (MLB) players did not contribute their names and younger images for Backyard Baseball ’01’s remaster. However, it has been confirmed that Cal Ripken Jr., Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter are among those returning to the game.
In collaboration with Major League Baseball, the new game Backyard Baseball ’01 will display emblems from MLB’s professional teams alongside players representing the league. Similar to previous re-imaginings of Backyard sports, Backyard Baseball ’01 aims to recreate the original gameplay, now optimized for touchscreens and modern PC controls.
As a passionate fan, I’m thrilled to share that Playground Productions is proudly collaborating with MLB to bring the timeless game of baseball onto contemporary gaming platforms for the very first time! Back in the day, Backyard Baseball ’01 was a real game-changer, introducing some of baseball’s all-time legends into the Backyard universe. I can hardly contain my excitement as we prepare to let fans revisit the thrill of crafting their ultimate team with both our cherished original characters and baseball’s greatest pros from that golden era!
On July 8th, both PC (via Steam) and mobile platforms will launch Backyard Baseball ’01. Previously, Backyard Baseball ’97 was updated for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 last October. As of now, there’s no news if Backyard Baseball ’01 will also be made available on consoles in the future.
