MLB 14 The Show Available As Day 1 Digital Download Available to Download Now (PS4)

04:28 PM - May 5, 2014 by Steve_OS

MLB 14 The Show will be available as a Day 1 digital download at 12:01 AM EST on May 6th. (SEE UPDATES BELOW) Similar to how users were able to download the PS3 version, expect it to be available at that time, give or take a few minutes.

It doesn't appear as though you will be able to pre-download, as some hoped with the latest PlayStation update. VG24/7 noted Watch Dogs will be the first game available for pre-download, releasing on May 27th.

UPDATE: As of 10:30 AM EST, the game is still not available to download.

UPDATE #2: Due to unforeseen technical issues, MLB 14 The Show for PS4 is not currently available for download via the PlayStation Store. All parties are working as quickly as possible to remedy the issue. We�ll update this post as soon as a resolution is reached. Thank you for your continued patience.

UPDATE #3: Based off of the many responses, the download should be available for everyone now.

Let's be honest, though. We are all just getting The Show to pass time until RBI Baseball drops for PS4 later this month.

Right?

This wasn't anything intentionally done by SCEA. They had every intention of getting it out by 12:01. I know we've been anticipating this for some time, but patience is key. In my opinion digital is a means of convenience for those that don't have easy access to a store or don't want to make the trip. Never is it guaranteed.

The issue is by other accounts this seems to be a trend. Infamous, also a first part game, didn't get out at 12:01 either.

If they can't deliver at 12:01, than don't use it as marketing statement. It doesn't accomplish anything positive otherwise, and will only annoy people.

I will never do this again... One hour later and I still can't even begin the nightmare of downloading this game. I hate Sony.

# 269 Sayheykid01 @ 05/06/14 01:53 AM

It's far from the end of the world, and the delay really isn't a huge deal..but being an hour delayed means any store within 30 minutes from home is worth the trip to me.

Definitely understand those that are upset with the advertisement of 12:01.

It says Day 1 Digital not Hour 1 Digital

Didn't have to worry about a hit, just walked him in.

The intention is to get it out by 12:01. I think we all forget this is being done by humans, no one is perfect. Are you telling me that you have 100% delivered on everything you've promised in life. Don't get me wrong, I'm disappointed it isn't out yet. I'm just saying that this is obviously a snag on their end that I'm sure someone is getting heat for.

Go to Wal Mart, some of those stores wont' have employees that will sell it to you. That happens more than you realize. If you want a guarantee, go to Gamestop at midnight. Some digital releases have no issues, some do. I've been down this road multiple times. Patience is key. Plus side is even though I'm waiting, I didn't have to leave my house and I could have more beer!

My username will make me proud with Moose hitting the game winning HR.

You would think someone from Playstation would at least make some sort of dogsh1t excuse.... Nope. Were all just restarting our PS4's and peeping the darn Spider Man game. (Which blows btw)
