It’s that time of year again. In late January, Sony San Diego confirmed the first details regarding MLB The Show 24, including when it will be released.
But what else is publically known about The Show?
When is the release date for MLB The Show 24?
MLB The Show 24 will be released worldwide on March 19, 2024. This was confirmed by Sony San Diego on January 30.
We should note that this year’s game will have a Collector’s Edition, in addition to the standard version. Details on that will be revealed on February 6.
Who is the cover athlete for MLB The Show 24?
Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the cover athlete of the standard edition.
Guerrero Jr. follows in the footsteps of his father, who was on the cover of 989 Sports’ MLB 2006, part of the franchise that would be the predecessor for MLB The Show.
What consoles will MLB The Show 24 be available for?
It will be available on the Nintendo Switch, as well as both current-gen (Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5) and old-gen (Xbox One and PlayStation 4) consoles.
MLB The Show 24 will not be available on PC.
Will there be an MLB The Show 24 Tech Test?
There will not be a Tech Test for MLB The Show 24.
For MLB The Show 22 and 23, Sony San Diego introduced a Tech Test, which in essence was an open beta that allowed baseball fans to try out the game, plus allowed Sony to test the servers.
That, however, will not be the case for The Show 24.

SDS has already confirmed that crossplay and cross-progression will return for The Show 24. Additionally, the Stadium Creator will return for current-gen consoles.
Sony San Diego will reveal details about The Show 24, including ratings and features, throughout February and March.
