The developers confirmed a MLB The Show 23 technical test will be held from February 15 to 21 across all platforms. Players may download the MLB The Show 23 technical test for free.
The latest details about the MLB The Show 23 Collector’s Edition and technical test are available below via PlayStation Blog.
Collection’s Edition Cover Athlete
Derek Jeter needed an epic cover, and we wanted to show him in a new light. With that in mind we tasked visual artist Sanford Greene to present Derek in a fresh new perspective. Derek’s career as a Yankee is larger than life and his cover literally has him jumping out of Yankee Stadium. Can you spot all the Easter eggs in the cover? We’re thrilled with the cover art and are so happy that we finally get to show the results of this collaboration.
