The release date for MLB The Show 24 remains under wraps as Sony has yet to make an official announcement. Traditionally, the game hits the shelves just before the start of the MLB season, aligning with Opening Day. However, this year presents a unique timeline with the regular season’s Opening Day on March 28 and an early two-game series in Seoul between the Padres and the Dodgers on March 21 and March 22.
