With April just around the corner comes a lot of excitement for the latest content releases for MLB The Show 25. They offer incredible rewards and MLB The Show 25 Stubs that can be used to upgrade your team. For the first full month of MLB action this year, San Diego Studio (SDS) has some fantastic events planned, with several shows already confirmed for the beginning of the month. Let's take a look at what we know so far about April.
April Spotlight Program- April 4
One of the biggest programs dropping in early April is the Spotlight Program. This will likely be based around the Monthly Awards series, which highlights standout performances from players in real MLB games. The program is already loaded into the game, though the full rewards aren't yet revealed.
The first drop is expected to be tied to players who performed exceptionally well in the early part of the MLB season, particularly during the opening series. As of now, names like Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm Jr., and Mookie Betts stand out as prime candidates for receiving special cards in this drop. Expect weekly updates and drops that showcase new players who shine in April's games. Players can earn 10 Stars for the first drop and continue to progress throughout the program.
Last Ride Program- April 4
The Last Ride Program is back in MLB The Show 25 and is scheduled to launch on April 4. This program is dedicated to honoring players who are in the final year of their MLB careers. Past programs in this series have featured legends like Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson, and Barry Larkin, and this year's installment will likely continue that tradition.
Although the exact players included in the program are still unknown, fans are speculating that legends like Derek Jeter, Todd Helton, and Ken Griffey Jr. could make an appearance. These players will likely have cards that reflect their legendary status with special quirks or meta-swing attributes, but their overall stats might be a bit lower due to the focus on their retirement year. This program is a great opportunity to snag some high-profile names that will also bring nostalgia to your team.
Easter Program- Late April
No MLB The Show April is complete without an Easter Program, and 2025 will be no different. Historically, this program has involved an Easter egg hunt with cryptic clues that lead to hidden rewards. Players will need to search the map to collect Easter eggs, which can be used to complete various collections or unlock special items. Expect to see plenty of themed packs and Jelly Beans, which can be exchanged for additional Easter eggs.
While we don't know exactly how SDS will approach the Easter Program this year, it's safe to assume that it will feature fun, themed activities and some unique rewards that align with the spring celebration. Given the Easter egg hunt format, it's likely that players will need to explore different challenges to uncover all the secrets.
What's Next?
While the programs detailed above are confirmed, we can expect more to drop throughout the month. Given that April marks the start of the MLB season, there may be more special events, collections, and rewards tied to the ongoing real-world games. SDS is known for keeping the content flowing, so it's highly likely that we'll see new programs pop up as the month goes on.
Final Thoughts
April is shaping up to be an exciting month for MLB The Show 25 players. With the Spotlight and Last Ride Programs kicking off the month, and the traditional Easter Program later on, there's plenty to keep players engaged and grinding throughout April. Whether you're aiming for top-tier rewards or just trying to complete your collection, there's no shortage of opportunities to boost your team with these content drops. Stay sharp, and happy playing!
