Yes, I'm one of the 8 people who play the game on Switch, well my Switch lite. Mostly for conquest and Mini Seasons, moments too I guess.
Anyway, I will be preordering the Digital Deluxe version for the Station, but I'm wondering if I do the same on Switch can I get all the bonus stuff in my DD account? I'd assume I'd get early access for the Switch as well?
Sorry for all the questions, but hope springs eternal when the new Show is released.
Don't buy multiple special editions. The perks such as stubs and pre-order packs will NOT stack.
The way account linking works is that one platform is considered the primary account while the other platform looks to the primary to see what cards and stubs you have, ignoring any cards or stubs associated with the secondary account. If you ever unlink, those stubs and packs would be there, but you can't combine them into one account.
On another note, pre-order stubs can be "laundered" to work on both platforms. If you get a special edition on Playstation, after you link you still won't see those stubs on Switch. Simply buy cards on Playstation and then sell them on the market. Stubs earned via marketplace sales and earned via gameplay are cross-platform.
If it's like years past they will stack... I routinely purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition (so I could play at midnight, typically with Early release) and then I'd go to GameStop and pick up the special edition they had that included the hat or I'd wait for it to be delivered. I did this for MLB The Show 17 and MLB The Show 18 and was able to stack the bonuses... only issue is when you end up with redundant bonuses but it looks like they kind of did away with those (like having two Ken Griffey Jr rookie cards in 17 like I did for example... I think I eventually quick sold one).
Both of your examples are from before the game came to Xbox and Switch. You can't stack pre-order bonuses from one platform with another.
Depends on if you connect your accounts (PS and XB) to your Show account or not is my understanding. I know when I started playing on PS5 all my PS4 stuff transferred over... I think the only thing that doesn't go across platforms is possibly your stubs... but I feel like if you link your accounts (PS and XB) to your The Show account you will have your bonuses on the same account because you are using one account... if you don't link the two accounts then no you won't be able to stack the bonuses.
Again, your example has nothing to do with Xbox or Switch. There is no account linking going from PS4 to PS5. You're literally using the same PSN ID.
I apologize if I sound like a [censored], but I know people are going to screw this up and flood the forum with posts for the first month. So I want to be completely clear.
The game has been cross-platform for two years, and I know how it works. If you order special editions on both Xbox and Playstation, when you link you will be forced to choose one account to continue with (primary) while the other is ignored in the background (secondary). The packs and stubs from the secondary account can't be used unless you unlink. Unless something changes this year (unlikely) it is not possible to stack pre-order bonuses across platforms.
I'm talking about linking the PSN and the XBox Gamertag to your The Show Account. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure you can do that, which allowed people to move from PS4 to XBox Series X or from XBox One to PS5... how else would you be able to upgrade that way if you couldn't link... I don't know maybe I'm wrong... again I'm new to the next gen party and didn't get back online til summer as I've probably stated numerous times so I missed a lot of info that released about MLB The Show 22 and seeing as I went from PS4 to PS5 I didn't run into any issues...
but if what they are saying about Cross Platform is true then you should be able to get the game for PlayStation use those preorder order bonuses, go to XBox (as long as your account is linked) and have all your cards from playstation (I'm not sure about the stubs) open your bonus from XBox (if you also purchased the game for XBox) and then go to Switch (again provided you linked your accounts and purchased the game on Switch) and still have everything you opened on PS4/5 and XBox One/Series X available for you to use while playing with your team on Switch.
Like I said I'm getting two editions but that's because I want to be able to have a No Money Spent team to use for my YouTube channel in addition to my main team on PS5.
Just don't link your accounts. Put one on your PS5 and then one on your Switch.

There is also a spot ono the page to type in the link for cross platform... I did a print screen but wasn't able to post it... and since I'm leaving work right now I don't have time to save it and upload it. Maybe that wasn't what it is for but my understanding was that you can take your team to every platform you play on as long as you link your accounts.
Yes you can link your accounts but you can link 'entitlements'. Think of it this way. There is a free TN Jazz Chisholm in the Show Shop. You sign onto your PS5 account and claim the card. You then sign onto your Switch account and the card is still available to download. But when you download it; you won't have two cards per console. Just one.
Same thing with preorder bonuses. You have to download them. You'll have them on both consoles; but you won't have access to the PS5 cards you claimed on the Switch and vice versa.
But like I said in my other post. Don't link your accounts.

Also, pretty sure this would be a perfect opportunity for someone from the Dec team, or maybe even cBrev, to weigh in on.

I agree. I'm not trying to cheat the system in any way, but I was curious as I assume the only way to get early access on the Switch is to buy the DD version. So I was curious about what would happen to all the loot that comes with the game.
Early access with the Switch comes in pretty handy, I hate that this is the last year it will be on there.

Or the Captain edition. Both come with early access. Why do you need to have someone from SDS answer this question? You've been given the answer in several posts.
If you want early access on your Switch, then buy a version that supports it. Buy the standard edition for your PS. Then, link your accounts making your Switch your primary. Easy peasy.

I bought the Digital deluxe for Switch last year to get the early access and bonuses, but then I spent 99.9% of the year playing on Xbox. It made sense at the time to buy the Switch version since I got the novelty of playing on the go along with a high end version on Series X with Game Pass, but it wasnt worth it. I don't think I'll ever buy a Switch version again. It runs, but is rough compared to PS5 and Series X and if I'm playing games I'm almost always home anyway. If you are away from home more often, maybe it will make more sense for you.
This year I'm purchasing digital deluxe for Playstation so I can play on both PS5 and PS4. It will probably come to Game Pass again, but I only have the one Xbox and prefer the flexibility of being able to play in my living room or bedroom.

I like the switch for when I’m not at home and offline content. It doesn’t really matter which console has the deluxe version, as long as it’s the primary in the link.

I'm also pretty sure they (devs) answered this last year and had the answer posted in the FAQs section of the forum. But it looks like they've already done away with parts of the forum dedicated to 22.

You are right. I have decided on the versions I will get. I didn't flesh out my comment as I know SDS takes the stub transferring and all that seriously so I posted this to make clear I'm not trying to do anything shady that gets the ban hammer thrown down on me.
I agree with your later comments, the Switch is great for offline play, really a game changer.

I've had linked accounts for both 21 and 22. Yes, you can link accounts. Yes, you can have your team from Playstation show up on your Xbox account.
NO, YOU CANNOT DOUBLE UP ON PRE-ORDER BONUSES.
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. You will receive the bonuses from the primary platform. The bonuses from the secondary will NOT be added to your primary account. If you don't believe me, then please buy $100 versions for all three platforms and get back to us.
I don't have all three platforms so I will not be doing this... also sounds real idiotic that they won't let you redeem everything that you paid for... but whatever, you just said everything I said this whole time, so them holding your preorder bonuses hostage sounds stupid and unethical to me.
-
So long story short... if I got my XBox One one back for example and got the game for XBox One and PS5 and link my accounts... I start on my PS5 and I link my accounts and I open up my preorder bonuses... are you telling me when I go on my XBox One to play the game I won't have those cards on my team?
-
Let's say you choose your PlayStation account as your main account when you link your Xbox account in your The Show account.
Everything you do on either console will show up. You can play an RS game on your PS and then exit MLBTS and then open MLBTS on your Xbox and the game will be there. You buy or sell a card on your Xbox and then exit MLBTS and open it on your PS, the transaction will be there (i.e. if you bought the card, it will be in your inventory).
If you purchased deluxe editions for both consoles, you will only have access to your bonus content from your PS version. To gain access to your bonus content on your Xbox, you will need to unlink the accounts.
If you play at all (open packs, play a game, earn stubs, etc.) on your Xbox before linking the accounts, you will not have access to that progress unless your accounts are unlinked. If you do any of that AFTER you have linked accounts, then your progress will show up on your PS when you open MLBTS on it.
While accounts are linked, If you BUY stubs on your PS, you will only see those stubs on your PS. If you BUY stubs on your Xbox, you will only see those stubs on your Xbox. Any stubs you earn (while linked and regardless of which console you are playing on) will show up on both consoles.
I hope that makes it a bit clearer for you.
