MLB The Show 25 is making some big changes for 2025. Sony’s annual baseball franchise revealed this week that it won’t be coming to Xbox Game Pass this year and it’s also ditching Sony’s last-gen console, though it’s still coming to Nintendo Switch.

Here's our best guess at everything we'll be playing on the Nintendo Switch 2 when it finally launches later this year.

Hideaki Nishino has become Sony Interactive Entertainment's sole CEO, after a period of joint rule with PlayStation

Level 5’s soccer RPG Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is planned for release on PS5, PS4, Switch, Steam, Android and iOS in June 2025. The studio is also currently working on the first new main game in the Professor Layton series in over a decade. Puzzle-fantasy adventure Professor Layton and the New World of Steam is set to release for Switch in 2025.

You can always count on Nintendo for a surprise. This is the company that followed the Game Boy with a strange dual-screened handheld and broke out of its GameCube slump with a console focused on motion controls.

Video game consoles used to be as fun as the games that could run them, but th Switch 2 signals that the era of hardware experimentation is ending.

Hosting and presenting the award was former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé who paid tribute to Team Asobi's charming little title. "So I have to admit it, Astro Bot almost outdid Nintendo at its own game," Fils-Aimé said, which drew some laughs to the people in attendance.

Nintendo has an opportunity to avoid the pitfalls Sony and Microsoft wen through launching their current consoles.

The Switch 2 is unlikely to be priced any lower than $349, the current cost of an OLED Switch model. $399 seems like a safe bet — the same price as the base Steam Deck. Any more than this and Nintendo will face uncomfortable comparisons to the new wave of PC handhelds.
