Similarly to the development of Golf Story, Sports Story was delayed a number of times as the scope of the game became more ambitious. The game was announced on 10 December 2019 in a Nintendo Indie World showcase for an intended 2020 release.

The game also features a fleshed out tennis academy storyline separate to the main story. The game uses mechanics based on these sports as part of its gameplay, which includes minigames, dungeon crawling and stealth segments. Compared to Golf Story, which only featured gameplay revolving around the sport of golf, Sports Story features additional sports including tennis, association football, cricket, volleyball and BMX. Sports Story is a top-down adventure game following the protagonist of the original game investigating the suspicious activities of the PureStrike megacorporation and the Iron Dragons yakuza. Upon release the game received mixed reviews, with criticism directed towards the game's overuse of fetch quests, its unfocused narrative, and technical issues experienced at launch, with most critics finding the game to be inferior to Golf Story. Originally announced in December 2019, Sports Story suffered delays as the scope of the game became more ambitious.

It is the sequel to the 2017 video game Golf Story. Sports Story is a 2022 video game developed and published by Sidebar Games for the Nintendo Switch.
