03/27/2024 09:33 pm EDT

San Diego Studio is gearing up to release the first substantial patch that MLB The Show 24 has received so far. Following its launch this past week, one minor patch for the latest MLB The Show game rolled out that fixed a lone specific problem with Diamond Dynasty. Now, San Diego Studio is pushing out a far larger update that should resolve many of the problems that players have reported up until this point. 

Set to roll out in the early hours of March 28, this MLB The Show 24 update will be released for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch hardware. The patch addressed a variety of bugs that have been discovered across nearly every game mode in MLB The Show 24. Outside of these fixes, San Diego Studio has said that it's planning another update that will hit on Friday, March 29, that will nerf the game's most "broken" player in the online meta.

Until that time, you can get a look at everything that is being overhauled in Update #3 for MLB The Show 24 in the full patch notes attached below.
