Probably the best part about MLB The Show 23 coming to Xbox Game Pass on launch day, is that it had its very own Early Access period and rewards bundle for those that pre-ordered both the game and the bundle.

Should you have pre ordered the game prior to Early Access and purchased the Early Access Bundle on top of it, you would have received a variety of great rewards.

Here’s the list of rewards you would have received for pre-ordering the game and the Xbox Game Pass Early Access Bundle:

  • 4-Days of Early Access (Starting March 24)
  • 2 Gold Choice Packs
  • 10 The Show Packs
  • 1 Ballplayer Pack
  • Double Daily Rewards
  • 10K Stubs

In addition, if you pre-ordered this bundle for Xbox Game Pass, you also received an extra MLB The Show 23 Gold Choice Pack.

To clarify, the bundle did not include the game, and came at an additional cost of $45.00 USD. So even if you are an Xbox Game Pass member, you would have had to pre-order your copy of the new game and this Early Access Bundle as well.
