Update [Thu 16th Feb, 2023 04:30 GMT]: This is a reminder to North American residents that this trial is now available for download on Nintendo Switch.
Original article [Sat 4th Feb, 2023 16:00 GMT]: If you’re excited for the release of MLB The Show 23 and happen to be in the US or Canada, it looks like you won’t have to wait long to try out this latest version.
Just like last year, there will be a technical test before the launch of the game. Players on all platforms (including Nintendo Switch) will be able to participate, provided they have a console connected to the internet. It will start further February 15 at 10 a.m. PST and continues until February 21.
You will be able to download this test from the Switch eShop and no registration is required. It’s essentially one big stress test of servers, online matchmaking, cross-platform play, and online co-op.
MLB The Show 23 arrives on March 28, 2023. If you opt for the physical version, an additional download will be required. One thing also missing from the Switch version is Stadium Creator (exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S).
