Nintendo Switch Online members can download and try the full version of MLB The Show 26 at no additional cost beginning tomorrow, April 23 at 10:00 AM PT. The limited-time trial gives players a chance to jump in and experience the game from start to finish, whether that means starting a career from the amateur level and working toward the Hall of Fame or building out a dream roster across its various modes.
The trial includes access to the core experience, allowing players to explore their own baseball journey, compete in local and online multiplayer and get a feel for everything the game has to offer before deciding to purchase.
The trial period is scheduled to run through April 29 at 11:59 PM PT. For those who choose to buy the game during or after the trial, all progress carries over, so there is no need to start over. The digital version is also available at a 25 percent discount for a limited time, with the sale ending April 29 at 11:59 PM PT.
