Will MLB The Show 25 Be On Xbox Game Pass?

When MLB The Show announced it was going multiplatform back in 2019, we eventually learned that it would also be featured on Microsoft's flagship Game Pass program. Essentially a "Netflix" for gaming, Game Pass has become a massive library of games that subscribers can access and play whenever they please.

Considering MLB The Show was a Sony console exclusive for eternity, the game debuting on a rival platform and being accessible for free was a huge development. Xbox gamers not only had access to a previously inaccessible title, but could play it for free just by being subscribed to Game Pass.

MLB The Show 21 was the very first title in the series available on Game Pass, and for the next several years the game was always on Game Pass.

However, that changed with MLB The Show 25.

Will MLB The Show 25 Come To Game Pass?

SDS announced back in January that MLB The Show 25 would not be on subscription based services in 2025 for the first time.

This marked departure was obviously a huge letdown, and as of now, there's been no indication that anything has changed.

So, no - it does not appear that MLB The Show 25 will be coming to Game Pass anytime soon.

However, it's worth noting that other major sports games like NBA 2K and Madden often hit the service after the core game cycle is complete. With the specific verbiage stating that MLB The Show 25 isn't coming in 2025, it at least opens up some hope that it might find its way to Game Pass in early 2026.

The core cycle will be winding down by then, but it will still offer an opportunity for those that missed out and might even see a reinvigoration of sorts in the overall player base as everyone awaits news about MLB The Show 26.
