It's time to start gearing up for Opening Day, and the MLB The Show 24 release date will ring in a new year for baseball. After building up a bit of excitement for the reveal, the MLB The Show 24 release date has now been confirmed along with this year's platforms and cover athlete.
In addition to the official MLB The Show 24 release date, we've got more details below on when the schedule for upcoming new features reveals. One of those will be for the Collector's Edition, and MLB The Show 24 early access could still be in the cards.
Updated January 30, 2024: The worldwide MLB The Show 24 release date has now been revealed along with the cover athlete, and more news is on the way with several Feature Premiere deep dives already scheduled.
MLB The Show 24 Release Date & Reveal Schedule
We've now got confirmation that the MLB The Show 24 release date is March 19, 2024. This puts the game out on a Tuesday once again, and it's right in line with the release date timing they've used in recent years. The news was made official after revealing Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be the MLB The Show 24 cover athlete.
Additional details will be revealed in the coming weeks, but the news did confirm MLB The Show 24 will be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Sadly, there's no sign of a PC release for players who were hoping this year might be the one to change that.
The regular season Opening Day is set for March 28, but the baseball year is kicking off with a two-game series as the Padres face the Dodgers in Seoul, South Korea on March 21 and March 22. International eyes will be on Shohei Ohtani's first game as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, but players will already be able to experience that in MLB The Show 24.
Following this initial announcement, we've learned about the following upcoming MLB The Show 24 reveals:
- February 6 - Collector's Edition Reveal
- February 15 - Feature Premiere
- February 22 - Feature Premiere
- March 7 - Ratings Reveal Show & Feature Premiere
- March 13 - Dev Tourney
- March 14 - Feature Premiere
All of these are expected to stream live on the Sony San Diego YouTube and Twitch channels. They usually save Diamond Dynasty for last, so the three Feature Premieres ahead of that will hopefully focus on Road to the Show, Franchise Mode, and the next installment in the Negro Leagues Storylines mode.
Pre Order and Early Access Predictions
Keeping their announcements spaced out as usual, the MLB The Show 24 Collector's Edition reveal has been held back for February 6. As of now, we do expect that to once again include confirmation of early access as part of the Collector's Edition.
With that in mind, we predict the MLB The Show 24 early access release date will be Friday, March 15, 2024. This would match the four days of early access offered in past releases, and it would make their final Feature Premiere lineup with the final countdown as the game goes live worldwide.
The MLB The Show 24 Collector's Edition rewards and additional pre order details should be confirmed as part of that same announcement, but we can safely assume Diamond Dynasty bonuses will be part of the package. We should also get confirmation soon if MLB The Show 24 will hit Xbox Game Pass on Day One like the last few games.
