Get ready to take your Club and your roster even further.
Update 1.3.0 introduces new ways to compete alongside your Club, expands progression with the new Top Star Account Tier, raises the Level Cap for eligible Players, and brings new gameplay, visual, UI, and quality-of-life improvements to Baseball Hits 26.
Here’s what’s coming.
Club Competition Is Ramping Up
Club competition takes center stage in Update 1.3.0 with two major ways to compete together, climb the rankings, and earn rewards.
Club Tower Events are coming! Every Club Tower game won by you or one of your Clubmates will add Club Points to one shared total. Every win matters, and every member can help push the Club higher on the leaderboard toward ranked rewards.
The first Club Tower Event begins September 2, 2026. Get your Club together, build your strongest lineups, and prepare to climb.
Competition is also expanding in Prime Club Events with new Global Leaderboards. When a Global Leaderboard is active, your Club will compete against Clubs across the wider Baseball Hits 26 community instead of only its matched group.
The first Prime Club Event Global Leaderboard arrives during Week 3 of Rookie Rush (September 5).
Two new competitions. One shared goal. Rally your Club and make every win count.
Reach the New Top Star Tier
Ready to take your account even further?
A new Top Star Account Tier is being unlocked, increasing the Account Level Cap from 39 to 49.
Reaching Top Star will also unlock the ability to push eligible Players even further. Very Rare, Ultra Rare, and Highlight Players can now reach Level 60 for accounts that have reached the Top Star Tier.
The new Level 60 cap does not apply to Common, Uncommon, or Rare Players.
Leveling Highlight Players Beyond 50
Taking Highlight Players from Level 51 to 60 will require a new currency as part of their Level Up costs: Highlight Reels.
Highlight Reels can be acquired from:
- Prime Events
- Global Leaderboards
- Tower Level Completions
- Club Tower Ranked Rewards
Build your roster, reach Top Star, and start pushing your best Players toward Level 60.
Gameplay Improvements
We’re continuing to improve how games play both on the field and when simming Events.
- Players will now reliably get the choice to go for the extra base in Walk Off Hero Tower games.
- Your team will go to the bullpen more often during simmed Event games, bringing relief pitchers into the game more frequently.
- Additional performance improvements have been made throughout the game.
New Action on the Field
Outfield defense is getting a little more dramatic.
Diving outfield catches are coming with dedicated animations, audio, and camera work, bringing more excitement to those big defensive plays.
We’ve also updated 25 Player models to include their real faces, bringing some familiar faces closer to their real-world counterparts.
Clearer Rewards and Items
We’re making it easier to understand what you’re earning and collecting throughout Baseball Hits 26.
You’ll be able to tap rewards to view more details across Inventory, Event reward lists, reward boxes, the Get More Baseballs dialog, and obscured Tower Event rewards.
We’ve also added:
- New detail dialogs for Currencies, Uniforms, and Badges.
- Descriptive text for Visual Items.
- Starting Now and Ending Soon pop-ups for Chain Offers.
- Additional UI/UX improvements and optimizations.
Community and Account Updates
Global Chat is getting an update to make it easier to see who you’re playing alongside and competing against. Messages will now display both the sender’s Username and Club Name.
We’re also introducing single active device enforcement. Your account can now only be active on one device at a time.
More Competition. More Progression.
Whether you’re working with your Club to climb the leaderboard, pushing toward the new Top Star Tier, or building your best Players toward Level 60, Update 1.3.0 gives you more ways to keep progressing.
The first Club Tower Event begins September 2, with even more Club competition coming during Week 3 of Rookie Rush on September 5.
