MLB The Show 25 Takes You Back to High School on PS5, Adds a New Board Game Mode | Push Square
Fans of sports games will know that iteration is the order of the day, and MLB The Show 25 is no different really. While the series is celebrating its 20th anniversary, baseball lovers can look forward to refinement to San Diego Studio’s long-running series, as opposed to a full-scale revolution.
The biggest changes include the expansion of Road to the Show, which will take you all the way back to High School and College before you hit the Minor Leagues. According to the PS Blog, you can expect “authentic high school and college audio”, including the “clank of metal bats and the rattle of chain link fences”.
