Good news, Show faithful: the MLB The Show 25 Companion App is officially live and ready to download! Whether you're looking to manage your Diamond Dynasty lineup on the go or want to prep for the grind of Road to the Show, this year’s app brings a brand-new feature that changes the game—literally.
Face Scan Is Here, and It's a Game-Changer
MLB The Show 25 introduces the much-anticipated Face Scan feature via the Companion App, allowing players to import their real-life likeness directly into the game for Road to the Show. Using your smartphone's camera, you can now scan your face, upload it, and see your own mug on your created player as they make their journey from the minors to MLB stardom.
This is more than a gimmick—it’s an immersive step forward for career mode. Seeing yourself in a digital uniform, stepping into the batter’s box under the lights, adds a layer of realism that deepens your connection to the experience.
No more generic “Joe Random” look-alikes—now it’s you hitting that walk-off.
How to Use the Face Scan Feature
- Download the MLB The Show Companion App on iOS or Android.
- Sign in with your MLB The Show account.
- Navigate to the Face Scan tab.
- Follow the guided steps to capture a 3D scan of your face.
- Sync your scan to MLB The Show 25 and start your Road to the Show journey.
It’s quick, intuitive, and requires zero artistic skill—just your face and a couple minutes.
Closing Thoughts
The Companion App continues to grow more essential each year, but Face Scan takes it to a whole new level for RTTS fans. Whether you're crafting a speedy leadoff hitter or a lights-out closer, bringing yourself into the game makes every moment feel personal.
