Second Patch for MLB 13: The Show
A huge benefit to being first party means getting propelled to the front of the line in the patch certification process and not having to pay a significant fee for more after completing the first two free ones. While SCEA hasn't really taken advantage of the latter in recent years for The Show they have the former by getting the first extensive patches out within a matter of weeks. That happened again with MLB 13: The Show as a hefty update that came out in late March and now the company has...

First Madden NFL 25 Pre-Order Bonus Spotted
The Gaming Tailgate has come across the first pre-order promotion for Madden NFL 25. Walmart is offering an exclusive "Oakland Raiders Franchise Pack" which presumably (unless there's a new mode to reveal or ties into Connected Careers) relates to Ultimate Team.
