Wow, wow, wow! This has got to be one of the greatest steelbooks ever made, right? Sony has, as promised, announced the MLB The Show 22 Collector’s Edition, and we reckon even non-baseball fans will be able to appreciate this one. Inspired by cover star Shohei Ohtani’s love of manga and anime, San Diego Studio has partnered with legendary Japanese artist Takashi Okazaki to create arguably one of the best boxes in sports game history.
Feast your eyes on this absolute masterpiece:
There are a couple of options available. The physical MVP Edition comes with the aforementioned steelbook, as well as a PS4 disc and PS5 download voucher. You’ll also get a ton of in-game goodies, including 1 Diamond Choice Pack, 2 Gold Choice Packs, 1 Cover Athlete Bat Skin, 1 Cover Athlete Profile Banner, 1 Ballplayer Pack, and 10,000 Stubs. It’ll cost $84.99.
Meanwhile the Digital Deluxe Edition comes with both PS5 and PS4 versions, 1 Diamond Choice Pack, 1 Cover Athlete Diamond Choice Pack, 5 Gold Choice Packs, 20 The Show Packs, 1 Cover Athlete Bat Skin, 1 Cover Athlete Profile Banner, 1 Ballplayer Pack, and 10,000 Stubs. It’ll cost $99.99. Both of the aforementioned special editions will be available four days early, from 1st April, 2022. And no, that’s not an April fool!
As was the case last year, for every Collector’s Edition sold through 31st December, 2022, Sony will donate $1 to the Jackie Robinson Foundation. So, good value, a great cover, and a wonderful cause – there’s not much to dislike here, is there?

Not worth 85 bucks when I can play the game with a subscription for a month elsewhere :^(
Gorgeous Steelbook otherwise, glad they contracted a Japanese artist for this one.
Final Fantasy: Zodiac Age and Nier Automata steelbox art crap from a great height over this artwork 😁
This MLB fire is nice enough i guess.
Probably one of the coolest steelbooks I've ever seen. Just beautiful.
If I cared about baseball, I'd be all over that steelbook.
Baseball isn't for me but I'm not gonna lie...I want this Steelbook.
I see what you did there. 😏
I now want an Ohtani JRPG. Make it happen Bamco!
Don't get that with Gamepass!!
Yeah I just love having my shelves lined with these awesome steelbook covers. They feel like amazing ornaments and always take down nostalgia lane when I look at them. Digital is just not my cup of tea for now.
Damn,such a shame im not into these games cuz that steelbook is indeed awesome..
@Golem25 It’s hard to argue against that logic. It seems that Microsoft’s lasting legacy from their foray into gaming will be the total devaluation of games.
Don't care for games like this but that steelbook is stunning.
Not a fan of baseball but I love collecting steal books. I'll definitely ***** with this!
Damn that steelbook clean AF 🔥🔥🔥
That's one boss level steelbook. I dunno if im going to buy the game yet but i'll at least try to get my hands on the steelbook for the right price if I don't buy the game(even though I don't usually collect steelbooks without the game)
I have no plans on getting it either, but yes, that steelbook looks amazing. Lots of credit to whoever designed it.
