MLB The Show 22 is out very soon, finally giving us a chance to send a towering drive over the fence once again and--for the first time--to do so on Nintendo Switch in addition to Xbox and PlayStation systems. But just when can you play ball? Well, that depends on what you're paying for the game, and we break down MLB The Show 22 release times below.

MLB The Show 22 unlock time

For the standard version of the game, including the one included at no extra charge via Xbox Game Pass, MLB The Show 22 will release on April 5. This applies to the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch versions.

The PlayStation versions' unlock time is currently set for midnight ET. It's not guaranteed the Xbox and Nintendo versions will also release then, but you should expect it to be at roughly the same time.
