MLB: The Show 25 is the twentieth main installment of the baseball sports game series.

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.

IGN: 9 / 10 by Justin Koreis
Rising through the amateur ranks in Road to the Show and the retirement of Sets and Season in Diamond Dynasty have brought much needed life back to MLB The Show 25.
A Gaming Network: 8 / 10 by Marcel Dee
MLB The Show 25 doesn’t revolutionize the franchise, but it makes meaningful strides in gameplay, realism, and historical storytelling. The introduction of GOAT difficulty and Ambush Hitting refines the on-field action, while Road to the Show’s high school start adds new layers of depth. The removal of sets and seasons in Diamond Dynasty makes it more accessible, and the return of Negro League Storylines continues to be a standout feature.
Cloud Dosage: 3.8 / 5 by Jon Scarr
It’s not revolutionary, but it delivers a polished, satisfying experience. If you’ve skipped a year or two, it’s a great time to jump in. For long-time fans, the small tweaks are appreciated, but you might find yourself wishing for more.
