MLB The Show 22: How to fix co-op not working

With the inclusion of online cooperative play to MLB The Show 22, a large number of players will test out the new game option this season. You were always forced to compete against your buddies until this year, but baseball is a team sport, so it's only natural that a co-op mode would be added. If you're experiencing trouble accessing online co-op, here's what you can do. As is typical of games that rely on the internet, there were some connectivity troubles in the early days of MLB The Show 22's release. Because the online co-op is such a new mode, it's not unheard of for you to encounter problems.

Our first suggestion is to see if the game's servers are currently down. If a large number of individuals are having problems, the development team may temporarily shut them down to undertake server maintenance. Going to the main menu and checking if the bulletin board at the top of the screen contains news or states you are not connected with will give you a good sense of when this happens.

Crossplay and cross-generational play are two more potential early issues. Some claim that when they tried to play the PlayStation 5 version with a PlayStation 4 player, they were able to get in after switching to the PS4 version. However, having two distinct versions of the same game installed on your console is not recommended. That's a complete waste of space.

If you're experiencing trouble connecting with a friend in The Show's online co-op, there's not much we can do but keep attempting to give each other invites or play a different mode till Sony San Diego works out the bugs.
