With the yearly release of MLB soon to grace many consoles and even appear on the Game Pass, fans are getting ready to pick up their copy on their respective console.

While it may seem obvious that MLB The Show 23 will be on the latest generation of consoles, the various editions of the game are only available on select consoles which can lead to a bit of confusion. Let’s go over if MLB The Show 23 will be on PS5 and which versions will be available.

Will MLB The Show 23 Be On PS5?

While it may seem obvious that the latest release in the MLB franchise would be on the newest generation of consoles, it can get a bit confusing when looking at the different versions of MLB The Show 23 for PS5.

While many of the more basic editions of the game are available to purchase straight to PS5 from the PlayStation Store, the Captain edition of the game can throw people off.

The Captain edition of MLB The Show says that it is a PS4 version of the game with PS5 entitlement. What this means is that you get both a PS4 and a PS5 version of the game with this bundle.

While this might not be useful to most people as you don’t tend to have both consoles at once, it can be useful for anyone that has a PS4 now and is planning to get a PS5 sometime in the future. This way, you can play the game on release on whichever console you have at the time.

You will receive a PS4 disc for the game as well as a code for a PS5 version of MLB The Show 23. The code will need to be redeemed on the PlayStation Store and will provide you with a digital version of the game for the PS5 but does have the requirement that you need a PS5 with a disc drive to use it.

This could be a baseless warning and will work fine on digital-only PS5 consoles, but since the warning is listed you may have to have the PS4 disc inserted into your PS5 in order to use the digital version of the game.

Regardless, you can safely pick up any version of MLB The Show 23 for your PS5, just make sure you have a disc version of the console if you choose the Captain edition of the game.
