For anyone who's been waiting to play MLB The Show 26, you're in luck. The popular baseball game is about to be free for a limited time, and the timing couldn't be more perfect now that the 2026 season is fully underway. MLB The Show 26 has only been out a month, so it's pretty cool that we're getting this offer so soon.
The offer does come with a few caveats, however, but MLB The Show 26 will still be free for a wide selection of people. The announcement itself was shared earlier today on X, and while the reception in the comments has been a bit mixed, it's hard to beat playing a $60 (on Switch) or $70 (everywhere else) game for free.
Starting today, MLB The Show 26 is free for all Nintendo Switch Online members. That's catch #1. Catch #2 is that there's only a Switch version of the game, so we sadly don't have an optimized Switch 2 edition to enjoy. Catch #3 isn't so bad, though: The digital version of MLB The Show 26 is 25% off on the eShop until April 29 at 11:59pm PT (April 30 at 2:59 ET).
In other words,...
