MLB The Show 21: Update 1.02 Patch Notes

Update 1.02 first dropped on April 17. The only point on the official notes is pretty ominous and doesn’t explain much. It simply states the patch is meant to provide “tuning and polishing for opening day.” Fortunately, we’ve been able to decipher a bit of this using player-based reports.

Below are a few of the most important issues we believe to be fixed with Update 1.02:

  • Fixes to audio breakdowns
  • Latency reduction and stability
  • Player User Interface (UI) prompt and response sensitivity protections
  • Application processing and crash-prone improvements

As stated above, this patch is currently available for all players who are enjoying the Jackie Robinson special edition early access.
