MLB The Show 23 is set for release in March, and the game's set to become available for pre-order starting February 6. Three different editions will be available to buyers across all platforms.

The developers have already announced the Collector's edition, but it will be limited to certain regions worldwide. However, gamers will still have plenty of options, and all three editions are priced differently. Each edition offers a different content volume, and gamers can decide based on their needs and preferences.

The publishers have already been informed about the content on each and how much it will cost across all platforms. While the costlier editions come with more content, they will also have higher costs. Hence, making an informed decision becomes necessary for a buyer to avoid overspending on things they might not need.

The following dives into what each edition offers, according to the publisher. It's worth noting that some of the content could change post-release, so buyers should keep a note of it.

Which edition to get?

The difference between the MLB The Show 23 Digital Deluxe and Captain Editions is minuscule. Firstly, both editions are viable only when someone plays Diamond Dynasty. Much of the contents are related to the particular game mode, and hence they cater to players of such modes.

The Standard Edition of MLB The Show 23 is perfect for those who want to enjoy offline modes. With it, players can access career mode and save money. All editions will come with pre-order benefits if someone gets a copy of the game before March 28.
