There’s been a Franchise and March to October change to celebrate Jackie Robinson, some changes to UI, a change to Mini Season, a fix specific to the Nintendo Switch version, and finally some miscellaneous things.

The only insight we can offer is that the patch notes are brief and there’s no one content. which points towards and equally brief download.

“MLB The Show 22 is one of the weirder entries in the series over the course of the past decade. On one hand, I’ve found myself just as engaged as ever with the core gameplay of MLB The Show 22 and fully expect to continue playing it frequently over the course of this season. On the other hand, this is likely the most underwhelming jump between MLB The Show installments that I can remember as nothing much of note has really been added or altered this year. This lack of flashy new content doesn’t make MLB The Show 22 worse by any means, but it does show that this series is somewhat struggling to evolve beyond what it has become.”
