Sony San Diego revealed that Miami Marlins’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. is the cover athlete for MLB The Show 23. The studio also announced that the game will launch on March 28, 2023, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
MLB The Show 23 will also be heading to Xbox Game Pass on release day, and preorders for the game start on February 6. It features full cross-platform, cross-progression, and cross-save functionality so your card inventory can be carried between all console platforms. The exception to this are PS5 and Xbox Series X|S exclusive features such as Stadium Creator.
The game’s Collector’s Edition will also be fully revealed on February 2nd. It includes dual entitlement to both the PS4 and PS5 versions, with the former being a physical disc while the latter is a download code. Those who purchase the PS4 version can upgrade to the PS5 version for $10 later.

In IGN’s MLB The Show 22 review, we said, “MLB The Show 22 is mostly a retread of an already great game, but more bugs than usual and the not quite ready for primetime co-op mode are signs this series may be losing some velocity.”
