Players will eventually be able to preload MLB The Show 24, but it’s currently unavailable. Based on previous series installments of the game, preloads usually start around a week before the official release date.

MLB The Show 24’s release date depends on which edition you purchase. The standard edition launches on March 19, but the MVP edition includes four-day early access starting on March 15. San Diego Studio didn’t provide an exact release time, but we expect the baseball-sim digital edition to be playable starting at midnight the day before early access goes live.

We’ll provide an update when it’s possible to preload MLB The Show 24.
