MLB The Show 20 installing green bar can be confusing for players who are unfamiliar with the MLB The Show series. Here's everything you need to know about the MLB The Show 20 installing green bar and what you need to do to get into the action on the diamond.

MLB The Show 20 Installing Green Bar: Everything You Need to Know

When players purchase MLB The Show 20 through the PlayStation Store, they'll have the option to immediately download the game and begin installing it on their console. Part way through the installation, players can open up the game and start playing an introduction game to get them acquainted with the controls and setting in MLB The Show 20.

However, players will not be able to actually access Diamond Dynasty, Franchise Mode, or any other part of the game except for the introductory game until the game has completely been downloaded. Players can keep track of how far the installation is from being completed by looking at the installing green bar in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

Players have run into issues with the bar loading properly in the past, including having to wait hours in an introduction game, but there are a few workarounds that can help MLB The Show 20 install smoothly.

The best advice for installing MLB The Show 20 quickly is to put your PlayStation 4 into Rest Mode once the installation has started. That way, the console can dedicate more of its resources into installing the game rather than rendering the introductory game or any other game you may have installed on your console.
