The studio that make The Show is owned by Sony.  Minecraft was multi platform before Microsoft bought Mojang.

I see. Then it sounds like the same situation.

And I was referring to the Minecraft brand.
In 2020 Minecraft Dungeons will be released on all platforms.

Not entirely the same.

Minecraft is 100% a Microsoft property since they own Mojang. Whatever happens with Minecraft is entirely up to Microsoft.
SIE San Diego makes The Show games, but the license is owned by Major League Baseball.

The two likely scenarios are: 1) MLB wanted them to take the game multiplatform so that they could sell more copies and if Sony refused, they would have taken the license elsewhere. EA or 2K Sports the most likely candidates. 2) MLB gave Sony a deal they couldn't refuse and decided they'd make way more money in the long term to release them multiplat than to stay exclusive. Either way, it's the MLB's call, not Sony's.
