MLB The Show 26 cover

Sony Interactive Entertainment and San Diego Studio have announced MLB The Show 26 will launch on March 17 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders will open on February 3 alongside a new trailer for MLB The Show 26., and New York Yankees player Aaron Judge will be the cover athlete, marking his second cover appearance following MLB The Show 18. It’s unclear if MLB The Show 26 will receive a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition or upgrade.

Get the full details below, via PlayStation Blog:

This year, MLB The Show is all about leaving your mark like never before. More than any single game, it’s about The Journey. It starts by putting in the hard work in high school, with a continuous drive to be better than the day before and a hunger for a Hall of Fame career. That drive was top of mind throughout the development of this year’s game, which is why San Diego Studio and MLB The Show are proud to welcome back 3x American League MVP, Aaron Judge.

His journey has taken him from high school to college, then the minors to the majors, and on to the world stage. We’ve mirrored the same journey in our game, striving to create the most authentic MLB experience outside of actually being on the field.

Aaron continues to rewrite history. He was our cover athlete in 2018, after a record-breaking rookie year in 2017. He’s now a 3-time AL MVP, 7-time All-Star, 5-time Silver Slugger award winner, AL single-season home run record holder with 62 homers, and the 2026 Team USA World Baseball Classic Captain. 

These are just a few highlights from his long list of achievements, and Aaron’s performances have not only inspired players on the diamond, but athletes and fans around the world. We’re excited to have him back as the cover athlete of MLB The Show 26. It’s now up to you; how will you leave your mark?

WEBTOON and Xbox Announce Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite Comic

As part of a collaboration with Xbox, WEBTOON has released a new comic based on Sea of Thieves, titled Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite. New perks will be available as part of the collaboration until February 13.

Rhoald Marcellius illustrates Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite, while Chris Allcock is the writer behind it.

Yongsoo Kim, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global WEBTOON, said the following about the collaboration: “Sea of Thieves is known for incredible in-game storytelling, with an immersive adventure that keeps fans hooked. At WEBTOON, we help some of the world’s biggest franchises expand their worlds with webcomics, reaching new horizons worthy of the most enterprising crews.

We meet a small pirate crew of Tess, Marcelo, Sania, and Jasper at their lowest point. One of them is missing, their ship is sinking, and hope is running thin.

And now, in their final moments, that betrayal may matter more than the storm around them.
