-2K Sports today announced that MLB® 2K13 is now available in the United States and Canada on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. The release of MLB 2K13 marks the first opportunity for fans to hone their skills with this year’s title in preparation for gaming’s premier skill-based competition, the Perfect Game Challenge.

Having awarded $3 million in total prizes over the last three years, the Perfect Game Challenge continues to evolve, and this year’s contest will feature more ways to win than ever before. Beginning April 1, 2013, players can compete to win up to 30 $25,000 prize pools, one per MLB team, with an overall total of $750,000 in prize money at stake. Once the competition window closes on April 30, 2013, the top four Overall Leaderboard finalists (as determined by 2K Sports’ proprietary algorithm) will compete in a single-elimination tournament during MLB All-Star Week in New York for the final $250,000 grand prize.

Gamers will need to monitor the Perfect Game Challenge leaderboards to ensure they maintain their ranking as new high scores are added. By using pitchers from different MLB teams, there is no limit on how many of the 30 Team Leaderboard $25,000 prizes one player can win.

“With so many new ways to win, the level of competition will reach an all-time high in this year’s Perfect Game Challenge,” said Tampa Bay Rays’ ace pitcher and MLB 2K13 cover athlete David Price. “2K Sports’ contest has a history of changing people’s lives, and 2013 will be no different. You can’t go wrong by choosing me to pitch your perfect game.”
