Players across all platforms (including Nintendo Switch) will be able to participate, provided they have an internet-connected console. It&#8217;ll start on <strong>February 15<\/strong> at 10am PST and runs <strong>until February 21<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be able to download this test from the Switch eShop, and there&#8217;s no sign-up required. It&#8217;s essentially one big stress test of the servers, online match-making, cross-platform play, and the online co-op.<\/p>\n<p>MLB The Show 23 arrives on March 28, 2023. If you do opt with a physical version, an additional download will be required. One thing also missing from the Switch version is the Stadium Creator (exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S).<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:144319 @ 2023-02-05T06:35:18+00:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Will you be participating in this technical test on the Switch?
