MLB The Show 25 Cover Athletes
The athletes featured on MLB The Show cover are Paul Skenes, Elly De La Cruz, and Gunnar Henderson. Sony confirmed on January 28 that 3 MLB stars are featured on the cover. It is tough to find three more dynamic, popular, and quite frankly, cool options for the cover.
Paul Skenes

He is a generational talent who nearly won the National League CY Young Award as a rookie last season. He will enter the 2025 season as the favorite to win the award. Also, if he pushes the Pirates to the postseason, he can contend for MVP honors.
Elly De La Cruz

Cruz is perhaps the most swag-filled player in the majors. He displays a rare combination of athletics, power, and switch-hitting ability. Every game, Elly De La Cruz, the Cincinnati Shortstop, shows he can do things that are nothing short of extraordinary.
Gunnar Henderson

Gunnar Henderson is the most conventional star of the trio and the most accomplished MLB player. He appears to be looking for an American League MVP award within the next three seasons, as he was close the past two years.
Will MLB The Show 25 Be On Game Pass?
MLB The Show 25 game pass will not be on Game pass as Sony clarifies that it will not be on platform subscription services in 2025. This rules out the game being added to PS or Xbox Game Pass this year, but it is still possible that it can get added subscriptions in 2026 and beyond.
However, Sony Santa Monica announced that the game will launch for PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox series. Unlike the previous three entries, the Show 25 will not be on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
