When is the MLB The Show 25 release date?
MLB The Show has been an ongoing series for just under two decades, dating back to 2006 with the first release after the previous MLB game franchise of 989 Sports.
Outside of the odd year, the MLB games have consistently been released in the month of March. And this year is no different with MLB The Show 25 being released on March 18. As it is beginning to be the case with most games these days, players who order the Digital Deluxe Edition can play the game four days earlier on March 14.
Here are the official release dates for the previous five MLB The Show titles:
- MLB The Show 25: March 18
- MLB The Show 24: March 19
- MLB The Show 23: March 28
- MLB The Show 22: April 5
- MLB The Show 21: April 20
- MLB The Show 20: March 17
Available platforms for MLB The Show 25
There are several platforms on which players can play MLB The Show 25 on. From Xbox to PlayStation, to Nintendo, there are several options for players, all with the same release date. Here is the full list of platforms available to play MLB The Show 25 on:
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series S
- Xbox Series X
- Nintendo Switch
You might notice that the MLB The Show 25 PC release date is nowhere to be mentioned. That’s because, unfortunately for PC players, they will not have the opportunity to play MLB The Show 25, same as all the previous installments. The MLB The Show franchise has never ventured out into PC gaming with PlayStation and Xbox being the primary consoles. This wasn’t always the case for the Microsoft side, however, with only the past three games being available on Xbox. Before that, it was a Sony exclusive with PlayStation hosting the game for the majority of its lifespan.
In the past, PC players did have access to the game through the Xbox cloud gaming service for game pass. But unfortunately, that is not the case for MLB The Show 25, as Sony confirmed the game will not be part of any subscription service, including the Xbox game pass.
What should you expect
It seems like the developers are actively listening to players’ feedback. Apparently there’s going to be a ton of changes, such as: Diamond Dynasty changes, some gameplay enhancements, Road To The Show is getting revamped (will now feature The Amateur Years), Path to 99 Progression, and much more. Also, they’re spicing things up with the new Franchise Mode improvements, making changes in the contract negotiations, and an enhanced trade-logic system.
