The game launched March 17 on three console families; PC is not listed, and Switch 2 compatibility does not make it a native Switch 2 release.
MLB The Show 26 launched March 17, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. There is no official PC version, and Switch 2 runs the compatible Switch release rather than a separately listed native edition.

| PS4 / Xbox One | No 2026 edition listed |
The Standard Edition launched at a $69.99 US list price on Xbox. Store promotions can lower the amount temporarily, so a sale badge should not be treated as the permanent price. The Standard package includes the full game and five The Show Packs.
Digital Deluxe owners received access from March 13, four days before the general launch. That early-access window is historical now; it is not a reason to buy the higher edition in August.
Nintendo's page is precise about Switch 2: the product can be played on the newer console, but its behavior is described as consistent with Nintendo Switch. Expecting a separate Switch 2 feature set or graphics profile would go beyond the store claim.
