Today, MLB The Show 25 received its Game Update 13 across all platforms. This update includes various fixes, equipment modifications, and gameplay adjustments.

In March 2025, Sony unveiled the newest edition of their top-tier baseball game series, titled MLB The Show 25. While it generally earned positive feedback, there were still areas for enhancement within this release.

As a devoted fan, diving into the latest updates for MLB The Show 25 always brings excitement! Though it’s not a massive content expansion, Update 13 still packs quite a punch with gameplay tweaks, bug squashes, and model updates. Visuals in numerous stadiums, such as Citi Field, Dodgers Stadium, Chase Field, and Bush Stadium, have been polished up. And, my beloved Diamond Dynasty and Franchise modes get some minor tweaks and fixes too! Grab your gloves, folks – the update is ready to play on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch now!

G.O.A.T. Difficulty and Player Models Receive Update

One notable modification in the latest update involves the revamped G.O.A.T. difficulty setting in MLB The Show 25. This change enlarges the PCI (Plate Coverage Indicator) slightly, making the game less challenging on its highest level of difficulty. Additionally, this release brings new licensed equipment such as B45, Chandler, Marucci, and Victus Torpedo bats, plus updated footwear, batting gloves, and catcher masks from brands like Adidas, Franklin, and Evoshield.

In the newest update, more than 40 player models have been revamped, which includes several top-tier athletes from MLB The Show 25. This roster of updated players features baseball greats like Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Schwarber, Max Fried, Bobby Witt Jr., and Jacob DeGrom. On top of that, Sony has fixed numerous UI glitches and made other improvements to the overall gameplay experience.

Despite the latest update not introducing substantial new elements or overhauling the gaming experience, it’s still a pleasant enhancement. Since its debut in March, Sony’s San Diego Studio has been regularly releasing updates for MLB The Show 25, improving player and gear models, tweaking gameplay mechanics, fixing glitches, and making improvements to user experience. With ongoing post-launch assistance from Sony, the future of MLB The Show 25 appears more assured.
