How to Pre-Order MLB The Show 23 and Secure Your Copy? Availability and Stock Concerns

MLB the Show 23 is scheduled for release on March 28, 2023. This gives gamers and baseball fans alike almost two months to prepare for the highly anticipated release.

Pre-orders for the game just went live very recently, so players may have already secured their copy. If not, there are plenty of ways to do it. The alternative option is also to buy it when it releases that day, whether online or by rushing to retailers and hoping to find a physical copy.

Fortunately, pre-ordering is very easy and effectively guarantees that one will come away with a copy of the game. Here's how.

A guide to pre-ordering MLB the Show 23

The best and most effective way to pre-order MLB The Show 23 is to visit the official website at theshow.com.

From there, players can click to pre-order the game. This will take them to a new screen. From there, the platform for the game has to be specified. Right now, it is available for PlayStation (either 4 or 5), Xbox (One or Series S/X) and the Nintendo Switch.

The next option is to choose which edition of the game. There are six versions available now:

• The Captain Edition
• Digital Deluxe Edition
• Digital Current Gen Standard Edition
• Physical Current Gen Standard Edition
• Digital Last Gen Standard Edition
• Physical Last Gen Standard Edition

For Nintendo Switch, only the Digital Deluxe and last generation versions are available. Current generation consoles are the Xbox Series S/X and the PlayStation 5, so anything else requires last gen games.

Once the game mode is specified, the options for pre-ordering are highlighted. Players can choose any of them. For example, for the The Captain Edition on Xbox, players can pre-order from Best Buy, GameStop and Target.

Clicking on one of the available options takes buyers to the site they can pre-order the game from.

When choosing whether to buy a physical or digital copy, it's important to remember that there is shipping involved for physical copies.

The game isn't out until March 28, so there very well may be shipping delays that keep the game away until into April. Purchasing digital means right at midnight, players can play MLB the Show 23.
