MLB The Show 25: PS5 Platinum Trophy Guide

MLB The Show 25

PS5

Split the work among Road to the Show, Franchise and played games. Choosing to go to college opens the route to Champs Get Degrees, while Franchise handles contracts and HOF Worthy. Reserve a complete game for Jack of All Settings. Confirm the result earned with each interface before changing to the next one.

All 26 base-game trophies in the PS5 edition. There is no PS4 trophy list.

  • Required difficulty: No difficulty is mandatory on this list.
  • Online: Storylines needs internet access; no trophy requires competitive multiplayer.
  • Decision to check: Choose college in RTTS before moving on to the pros.

Start your career through college

Choose the college route in Road to the Show and play the tournament moments for Champs Get Degrees. Reach MLB and record your character’s first hit or strikeout for First of Many. Check games with objectives that can award at least two Show Tokens: the trophy counts tokens earned in one game rather than your accumulated balance.

  • Win the college title before leaving that part of the career.

Work the Franchise free-agent board

Start Franchise and monitor the offseason. Put a realistic target in the top ten of the Free Agency Big Board, then check their interest before offering a deal. If the player is close to signing elsewhere, check whether the Last Chance offer becomes available. A signing can cover both trophies if that target was top ten and accepted that specific offer.

  • Check the Big Board position and offer type before finalising the deal.

Separate the Hall of Fame from the World Series

For HOF Worthy, advance a Franchise and check the retirement and Hall of Fame summaries. A reported PS5 route uses Washington and waits for Max Scherzer’s induction; rosters and retirement timing can change the outcome. Keep the World Series separate: play the deciding games for Why We Play because that trophy excludes simulated results.

  • Check the Hall of Fame induction screen after each season.

Track the eight interfaces in one game

In Exhibition, rotate through Zone, Directional and Timing on offence and check off one hit with each. On defence, record a strikeout with every pitching interface: Classic, Meter, Pulse, Pure Analog and Pinpoint. Change only one setting at a time and confirm the required result before moving on. Keep the same game open until both checklists are complete.

  • Use all three hitting and all five pitching interfaces in the same game.

Finish Negro Leagues and the remaining objectives

Complete three Negro Leagues Storylines, such as Cool Papa Bell, Turkey Stearnes and Bullet Joe Rogan, who are included in the base game. For Fundamental Baseball, schedule a full game of at least nine innings and favour safe catches and throws. If also targeting 25-Ever in that game, remember that total bases from hits are not the same as runs scored.

  • Complete three Storylines, then check off a nine-inning error-free game.

Trophies to watch

HOF Worthy

Get any player into the Hall of Fame (MTO, Franchise, or RTTS).

Use Franchise and check the offseason induction list, not just the retirements.

Jack of All Settings

In the same game, successfully use each type of hitting interface to get at least one hit with each, and each type of pitching interface to get at least one strikeout with each.

Track one hit per hitting interface and one strikeout per pitching interface.

Needs Filled

Sign a Top 10 free agent from your Free Agency Big Board in MTO or Franchise.

Place the player in the top ten of the Big Board before signing.

Champs Get Degrees

Win the College Baseball Championship (RTTS) (excludes simulated gameplay).

Take the Road to the Show college route and play its championship.

Take it Or Leave It

Sign a player with a last chance contract (March to October and Franchise).

Watch for the alert that a target is about to sign elsewhere and use the Last Chance offer if available.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Diamond Dynasty?

No. The 2025 list does not require Diamond Dynasty collections or games. The three Negro Leagues Storylines still need internet access, as PlayStation notes.

Can Jack of All Settings be split across games?

No. All required hits and strikeouts must come from one game, even though you switch the interfaces in Settings.

Do I need a second career for college?

If your current save passed the college decision without playing the tournament, use another RTTS career for that title. You do not need to restart Franchise.
