Sony MLB The Show 25 Video Game for PlayStation 5

MLB The Show 25 for PS5 is the 20th-anniversary entry in Sony's flagship baseball franchise, built by San Diego Studio with sharper visuals, a reworked Road to the Show career mode, and an all-new Diamond Dynasty progression system. It's the first mainline entry to feature three cover athletes, and it delivers deeper career customization, faster online play, and hundreds of new fielding and hitting animations. Whether the goal is building a Hall of Fame career or assembling a dream roster of MLB legends, this title gives players more ways to shape every at-bat.

Key Features

• Path to 99 Progression System — RTTS replaces static attribute grinding with a token-and-perk system, letting players customize their build and playstyle as they climb toward a 99 overall rating.

• G.O.A.T. Difficulty — A tier above Legend difficulty for players who want the toughest possible AI and pitch recognition challenge.
