As we're in the final month before the release of MLB The Show 26, owners of MLB The Show 25 have a chance to earn free packs when the new game releases.
Now & Later Program Breakdown
Earning XP in MLB The Show 25 now feeds into the XP Reward Path for the Forever Program. There are Now & Later packs sprinkled in here, but a new program is an easier way to accumulate free packs for the new game.

The program is extremely quick and easy, consisting only of 10 Moments worth 10-stars each. It should take very little time to complete these.
Rewards
- 12x Now & Later Packs
- 43,900 XP toward your XP Reward Path
- 99 Retro Finest Carlos Beltrán

Receiving 12 free packs in MLB The Show 26 just for completing a quick program is well worth the time. At launch, standard Show packs are the most valuable they'll ever be. If you're lucky to pull some diamonds, you'll be able to flip them for pretty significant Stubs or save if you're planning on completing the live series collection as fast as possible.
Assuming you haven't maxed out the Forever Program, all of the XP you earn completing this program can also help you earn more packs in MLB The Show 26 by progressing in the program path.
For anyone still playing MLB The Show 25, adding this Beltran card to your squad will be a sweet way to end the year. The card is absolutely nuts, and it's a little sad we had to wait so long to see it.
