MLB The Show 23 Preorder Guide: Available Editions, Bonuses, And More

MLB The Show 23 releases March 28, and preorders for the new baseball sim are now live. We’re still waiting to learn more about the latest installment in the franchise, although bits and pieces of info have started to become public ahead of its launch. The most exciting new addition to MLB The Show 23 is a new game mode, Storylines, which will follow a single player from the Negro Leagues using both gameplay and short video vignettes to tell their story.

Excited to get your hands on the game? Here’s a closer look at MLB The Show 23 preorders, including all available editions and any preorder bonuses.

Preorder bonuses vary based on which edition of the game you’re reserving. There don’t appear to be any retailer-exclusive bonuses, although that could change in the weeks leading up to launch. Regardless of which edition you order, you'll get some cool bonuses.

Preordering MLB The Show 23 on current-gen platforms will get you five Show Packs and 10,000 Stubs. If you preorder on last-gen consoles, you’ll get 5,000 Stubs. Last-gen versions are selling for $60, while new-gen versions are listed for $70.

• One Captain’s Choice Pack
• One TBA Themed Choice Pack
• Five Gold Choice Packs
• 20 Show Packs
• One Ballplayer Pack
• Double Daily Login Rewards
