With the launch of MLB The Show 26 just over a month away, Sony San Diego Studio has rolled out a pre-order offer for returning players. This guide breaks down the eligibility requirements, how to ensure the discount is applied correctly at checkout, and what bonuses are included in the Digital Deluxe Edition pre-order.

Why it matters

The pre-order discount and Digital Deluxe Edition bonuses are valuable incentives for dedicated MLB The Show fans to lock in their purchase early and gain access to additional content. Understanding the fine print around eligibility and platform requirements is important to avoid any issues when placing a pre-order.

The details

To qualify for the MLB The Show 26 pre-order discount, players must have purchased a digital version of the game since 2021 and be signed into the same platform account used for that original purchase. Physical disc purchases do not qualify. The discount is applied automatically at checkout, but players need to double-check that they are signed into the correct account to ensure it reflects in their cart. The Digital Deluxe Edition pre-order also includes up to four days of early access, choice packs, World Baseball Classic content, equipment packs, bonus in-game currency, and more.

• MLB The Show 26 is set to launch in March 2026.
• The pre-order discount and Digital Deluxe Edition are available now ahead of the game's release.

What’s next

Players interested in the pre-order discount should visit the official MLB The Show 26 website, confirm they are signed into the correct platform account, and add the Digital Deluxe Edition to their cart to ensure the discount is applied.
