MLB 14 The Show News Post


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.

Created an account to post here as I've been watching this thread silently since 12:10 am est (with some sleep in between).

Basically just wound up calling PSN about an hour and a half ago and the guy on the phone was aware of the issue and tried really hard to convince me to keep my order and just wait it out till 4pm PST (7pm my time). He almost got me but I just decided to go with the refund. He simply told me that it would take about 10-12 days total for the process to complete, and that it was a request.

Wound up going with the request and then going to my local GameStop. Took in KillZone and GTA V for PS3 and wound up getting MLB for 26 bucks, so at the very worst if for some reason my request is denied I'll be out 26 dollars and two games I didn't play anymore.

Anyways good luck to all who are waiting it out for the download I commend you but I simply couldn't do it any longer. After waiting till 4am EST to download the game I was pretty furious when I woke up to find out it still wasn't available.

I didn't get the game through PS to play it early I just wanted to have it on the digital platform but this waiting period has went from unacceptable to absolutely ridiculous

Did you get a refund to your Sony wallet, or all the way back to your bank?

I believe I've found a work around. Go to the PS Store on another device and add the show to your cart. Check out and the game should be free. The click download to PS4

See, I have a youtube channel, and its super important to get the game early and post often when a new game drops, its how you get your name out there. And of course, they **** me over in that department right there. I had a possible income from this game release estimated at around $30 a day if I had gotten it right away. Now I'll be like anyone else because people are already posting videos of it.

So this is my problem with this whole thing.. not only do I get screwed out of playing it at "12:01am EST" like advertised, but I lost out on potential viewers who will surely not see my videos now that it will be mixed in with everyone else who got it at the store/etc.

You can't.. You log in on another device as the same user and mlb just says its been purchased.

No option to add to the cart

I'm the same way, I think it just depended on the rep and time you called. I was told up to 7 days, so I'm just going to follow up if I don't get anything by next Tuesday.

There's still a ton of people trying to contact them so you may be better off waiting to do live chat right at 8:00 am EST tomorrow to follow up. I prefer the comfort of some sort of email saying your case is opened or in process, so I may follow up in the morning (or I may wait out the week, I'm undecided).

I think no one knows but Sony and SD Studios when it would release..

It actually makes no sense why this delay is so long.. guys from the studio last night said they was working on this issue since 12AM EST when the game was suppose to be released. it's not like the store is down and they need to restore a backup or patch something.. it's only one game having this issue. If those guys been working since early morning hours they should have analysis the problem and fix it.

I think they just knew the game wasn't coming out till later today

I can confirm that this is working for me. I logged onto the online store on my PC, added the game to my cart, checked it out and was not charged (showed up as $0.00). It's downloading onto my PS4 while I'm at work.
