Wondering how to unlock the Stage 2 Tasks for the April Monthly Awards program in MLB The Show 22? We've got you covered.

In MLB The Show 22 Diamond Dynasty, the Monthly Awards program has seen a bit of a major change with its tasks, rewards, and overall release schedule. As such, it's no surprise that many players are wondering how and when Stage 2 of the program would be unlocked. For those stuck in that predicament, here's a breakdown of how to unlock Stage 2 of the April Monthly Awards in MLB The Show 22 Diamond Dynasty.

How to Unlock April Monthly Awards Stage 2

The first batch of content for the April Monthly Awards program in MLB The Show 22's Diamond Dynasty mode was initially launched on April 15, kicking off San Diego Studio's traditional promo in which special Legend and Flashbacks are ultimately revealed to be up for grabs.

This time around, things are a bit different as Topps Now players have been integrated into the Monthly Awards mix.

Additionally, instead of releasing sets of moments and then a full program at the end of the month, San Diego Studio will simply be updating the program as new cards become available.

A new set of moments will be released every week, and at the end of the month, players will be able to trade in all of the cards they have earned in challenges to earn a Lightning Monthly Awards player that matches the top cards in the game once it’s released.

As such, although it will be a few weeks before we know exactly what cards will be released at the end of the program, players will be required to complete a 14-player April Topps Now Collection in Stage 1 in order to unlock access to Stage 2.

At the time of publication, the first five Topps Now players for Stage 1 are already available with Seth Beer, Jeremy Peña, Joey Bart, Steven Kwan and Hunter Greene.

Although San Diego Studio has yet to officially announce just when the Stage 1 Week 2 Moments and next batch of Topps Now players will be available, they are projected to arrive Friday, April 22 (H/T RealSport101).
