Here’s a breakdown of MLB The Show 24’s availability and potential considerations for New Zealand:
Official Release:
MLB The Show 24 has a worldwide release, so it should be available in New Zealand on the scheduled release date (which has already passed, assuming it’s after March 18, 2024).
Purchasing the Game:
Look for MLB The Show 24 in local New Zealand retailers or online stores like the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store. These stores should have the game available for purchase in New Zealand dollars (NZD).
Regional Pricing:
The game’s price might vary slightly depending on the region and platform. You should see the NZD price listed on the store page before purchasing.
Online Play:
MLB The Show 24 offers online multiplayer features. However, you might be matched with players from other regions due to the global player base.
Content Availability:
The content available in your game should be the same regardless of your location, including the recent addition of Negro Leagues players through free content updates.
The "Negro Leagues Edition" with special physical and digital content might be sold out in some regions, including New Zealand.
Time Zone Considerations:
While New Zealand is ahead in time zones compared to some regions, there likely isn’t a way to exploit this for early access to the game itself. The official release date applies globally.
