MLB The Show 25 Is Surprisingly Not Coming To Xbox Game Pass This Year

Sony has unveiled the latest entry in the beloved MLB The Show series today, and the surprising reveal from an Xbox perspective is that MLB The Show 25 will not be part of Xbox Game Pass when it launches on March 18, 2025.

The company simply says that the game "will not be on platform subscription services in 2025", which marks the first time ever since the series arrived on Xbox in 2021 that it won't have debuted as part of Game Pass at launch.

"We are thrilled to announce that MLB The Show 25 will launch on March 18, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game will not be on platform subscription services in 2025. Early Access begins on March 14, for anyone who purchases the Digital Deluxe Edition."

In terms of what to expect from the game itself, we don't have many details right now, but it's been confirmed the first gameplay trailer will arrive on February 4th. The cover stars are Paul Skenes, Elly De La Cruz and Gunnar Henderson.

It remains to be seen how long MLB The Show 24 will remain on Xbox Game Pass, but it'll probably still be removed around March time. In other words, enjoy your last bit of MLB The Show on Game Pass while you can!
