If you participated in MLB The Show 24's Now & Later program, your rewards are finally arriving in MLB The Show 25! San Diego Studio (SDS) has officially begun distributing the Now & Later packs and the free 85 OVR Willie Mays, allowing players to cash in on the rewards they earned last year.
Rolling Release: What You Need to Know
SDS has confirmed that this is a rolling release, meaning:
- Not everyone will receive their rewards at the same time.
- You may not receive all of your packs at once.
- If your rewards aren’t there yet, be patient—they’re still being rolled out.
This staggered distribution helps ensure stability as thousands of players log in to claim their rewards. If your Now & Later packs or Willie Mays haven’t appeared in your inventory yet, give it some time before submitting a support ticket.
Where to Find Your Rewards
Once your items are available, you can find them in:
- Packs Menu – Your Now & Later packs will be in your unopened packs. You'll also have a pack featuring the Willie Mays card that you'll need to open in order to add him to your binder.
This was a cool program from SDS! Free rewards that were fairly easy to earn at the end of MLB The Show 24 that also rewarded those still playing last year's game with a beefy Mays in that game.
