Is MLB The Show 25 available on Xbox Game Pass?

MLB The Show 25 is now available on early access, and you can jump in to enjoy the different modes and tweaks made by the developers for this year. While certain things look similar, there are key differences, one of which is associated with the game's accessibility. Unlike the last few years, there is bad news for Xbox Game Pass subscribers if they want to enjoy the new baseball simulator. MLB The Show 25 is not a day one addition to the Xbox Game Pass During the last few years, every MLB The Show release has been added to the Xbox Game Pass on day one. Subscribers could play the games after their global releases without buying separate copies as long as they had an active membership for the Ultimate tier. This year, things are different. Despite being developed by a PlayStation studio, MLB The Show 25 will be available for Xbox console users. However, the only option for Xbox users is either the Standard or the Digital Deluxe Edition. The Digital Deluxe Edition has a higher cost but offers plenty of benefits, along with the four days of early access (already started on March 14).

Both MLB The Show 23 and The Show 24 were added to the service on the very first days of their respective global launches. As for MLB The Show 25, I still believe it will eventually be added to Xbox's gaming service. A date is hard to pinpoint, and it all depends on what type of agreement Xbox might have with MLB. If you're unsure about when the game goes live, make sure to check out this guide. It will help you with the full launch date, along with the release timings. Unlike most games, MLB The Show 25 doesn't have regional launch timings, and it has a simultaneous release across all regions.
