PlayStation revealed the first details of its sports game MLB The Show 25, and from just this basic information, it’s looking like a different beast compared to its predecessor.
The biggest change in MLB The Show 25 unveiled in a PlayStation Blog post this week is that the developers at Sony San Diego are removing Sets and Seasons from Diamond Dynasty. This feature was introduced in MLB The Show 24, but was poorly received by players since it limited cards obtained in the Diamond Dynasty mode just to their season. It was meant to expand the game’s live-service offerings, but it backfired with the player base. Now cards can be used across seasons and the game’s life cycle.
“We appreciate the feedback from our community and have also decided that Sets and Seasons will not be returning in MLB The Show 25, allowing every card to be used freely throughout the year,” the post read.
This change is also coming over to MLB The Show 24 starting with Season 4. The new Now & Later MLB The Show packs can be used in MLB The Show 24 starting Friday. This will act as a way to bridge the gap between the two games and signal to players that the developers are hearing their concerns.
Sony San Diego also teased more changes coming to Diamond Dynasty, MLB The Show’s section where you build a team of athletes by opening virtual packs and playing through various single-player and multiplayer modes, such as tiny seasons. However, those changes will be revealed at a later date.
The developers will also be making adjustments to how much customization players will have in its Road to the Show mode, improving metrics in Franchise mode, and more.
While the MLB The Show series is developed and published by Sony (in partnership with the MLB), it still releases on Xbox consoles, and that’ll likely be the case for MLB The Show 25. MLB The Show 24 was also on Xbox Game Pass, so you can expect it there too.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
