The 20th installment of the popular baseball series, based on the official MLB (Major League Baseball) license. MLB: The Show 25 offers plenty of new features, like the Ambush Hitting mechanic, Diamond Quest and Diamond Dynasty: 360 modes, or the highest G.O.A.T. difficulty level.
MLB: The Show 25 is the twentieth main installment of the baseball sports game series. Similar to the previous parts of the series, the game is based on the MLB license, which is the American Major League Baseball league. It was developed by the San Diego Studio team, which belongs to Sony Interactive Entertainment.
In MLB: The Show 25 we participate in baseball games. We are responsible for team management issues and the game also allows us to develop players.
The official MLB license ensures the presence of real names, teams, and stadiums, while a range of difficulty levels (led by the highest - G.O.A.T.) allows to adjust the level of challenge to individual preferences. The Ambush Hitting mechanic deserves a separate mention, allowing for more aggressive ball hitting during matches.
Similar to previous installments of the series, MLB: The Show 25 offers a variety of game modes:
The game allows for singleplayer and multiplayer (via the Internet or locally).
MLB: The Show 25 looks best on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It stands out due to its improved graphics, especially the appearance of the ground and grass. The sound layer is based on ShowTech technology, thanks to which matches are accompanied by real crowd noises and chants from the fans.

It’s quite possible that Sony don’t think they need MLB The Show 25 to be a huge departure – after two years of adding in some cool new features, this may be the year they decided to coast a little. And, I mean, why not? Even a forgettable version of MLB The Show still delivers a best-in-class baseball experience. It makes it hard to recommend if you picked up the last few years’ editions, but if you’ve taken a year or two off, it might be time to jump back in.
Digital Chumps: 9 / 10 by Nathaniel Stevens
The gameplay feels tighter and smoother on the offense and defense side of the field. Including the new feature Diamond Quest gives more depth to what a typical baseball game would be, bringing in new ideas on how you can compete in Diamond Dynasty. MLB leads the way again by bringing a solid experience and off-beat innovation that works more than it doesn’t.
