PlayStation Fiesta Bowl - Oregon v Iowa State — The anticipation for MLB The Show 23 continues to build, with Sony slowly releasing more details about the next release.

Sony's MLB The Show remains the premier baseball video game franchise, with the latest iteration set to hit store shelves on March 28. While the series is not without its flaws, the game continues to be one of Sony's best-selling products.

While the game itself has a massive following, the jump to other platforms outside of the PlayStation has seen sales and online players grow extensively. The cross-platform jump to X-Box saw an increase of roughly two million more players, according to Sony.

While details about the changes and new features to the game are yet to be released, Sony revealed that technical testing is set for Feb. 15-21. It will be available as a free download for anyone to download and play. Soon after the testing phase, it's expected that more information about the latest entry into the franchise will be released.
