Sony's MLB The Show 23 arrives day one on Xbox Game Pass in March 2023 for the third year in a row, but if you're desperate to play it a bit earlier than March 28th, you might be interested in a new bundle for Xbox Game Pass owners.
Revealed earlier this week, this "Early Access Bundle" provides you with four days of playtime from March 24th to March 28th on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, along with two Gold Choice Packs, 10 Show Packs, one Ballplayer Pack, Double Daily login rewards and 10k Stubs. However, the big catch is that it doesn't include the full game.
The price is pretty shockingly expensive too at £37.56 / $44.99.
"GAME NOT INCLUDED. For Xbox Game Pass subscribers interested in playing MLB The Show 23 during Early Access, this is for you."
We saw the same thing last year with MLB The Show 22, so this is nothing new. Basically, if you're a fan of MLB The Show and you're also a big Diamond Dynasty player, this bundle could make sense - especially considering the game will almost certainly be included with Xbox Game Pass until MLB The Show 24 rolls around.
For everyone else, this is an expensive package that isn't worth the cost. It's always nice to have the choice though!
