Regarding early access, Sony Interactive Entertainment typically offers a pre-order bonus for those who purchase the game in advance. Bonuses often include early access to the game, exclusive content and other perks.

Early access can be obtained by purchasing the Captain Edition or Deluxe Edition of the game. These will be available for purchase worldwide from March 24. Additionally, Game Pass subscribers can get early access starting March 24 if they purchase the Early Access Bundle on the Microsoft Store.

In terms of features, fans of the franchise can expect improvements and enhancements to gameplay, graphics and game modes.

One of the most awaited new features was the Negro National Leagues, which is available in Storylines mode. This addition has received a big thumbs-up from fans. The offline experience for players has also been upgraded.

Diamond Dynasty has managed to retain its place as the standout mode of MLB The Show franchise. However, the improvement in Franchise mode in this year's edition has taken many by surprise.

Overall, it's a highly anticipated game that promises to bring an improved experience for fans around the world.
