MLB The Show 26 Digital Deluxe Edition
The MLB The Show 26 Digital Deluxe Edition is considerably more expensive, as it costs $99.99 / £89.99 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. However, it offers much better perks, with the 4-day early access to the game being the one that stands out.
The Digital Deluxe Edition pre-order rewards include the following:

It's worth noting that, similar to what happened last year, MLB The Show 26 won't be on Game Pass, at least not at launch.
