MLB The Show 22: Get your free pack by playing the Tech Test before time runs out


MLB The Show 22 has been running an exciting preview of the game in recent days as the Technical Test allowed fans to experience the new online co-op ahead of launch.

With the MLB The Show 22 Tech Test almost over, players are running out of time to snag a free pack when the game is released.

The MLB The Show 22 Tech Test has been going strong as players push the Sony San Diego servers to their limits ahead of launch in an effort to prevent any server down debacles when that day arrives.

The MLB The Show 22 Tech Test has been available on all five platforms that the game is coming to this year, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and this year's newest addition in Nintendo Switch.

If you've already played the Tech Test, there's good news as players who participate will be able to score a free pack at launch to open in Diamond Dynasty.

THANK YOU PACK: Sony San Diego has offered this to anyone who plays the Tech Test

This free reward will be available when the game is released, and everyone with it will receive one guaranteed Gold Player Item, which could be a very valuable pickup as you start building a Diamond Dynasty squad.

The one thing you'll have to be sure of in order to ensure you receive this pack is that your console account (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) is linked to your MLB The Show account on The Show's website.

This is a crucial step if you're planning to play the game on Nintendo Switch and a separate console, as having your accounts linked will help cross-platform progression work as intended.

When does the MLB The Show 22 beta end?

If you haven't already jumped into the MLB The Show 22 beta to try things out ahead of launch, time is almost up to take advantage and snag your free pack.

You won't have to play a significant amount of time to claim the pack, as just downloading and launching the game with your account connected should do the trick, but starting a quick game to ensure internet connectivity would also be a safe bet.

As of now, the MLB The Show 22 Technical Test is set to officially end on February 23, 2022 at approximately 10am PT.

We can confirm this lines up with a countdown clock used by Sony San Diego in one of their recent Scouting Report emails, so make sure to grab the game before it's too late.
