Update v1.1.2 Release Notes

By Ares Interactive / June 4, 2026

Our latest update focuses on quality-of-life improvements, community-requested features, and important bug fixes. Thank you to everyone who continues to share feedback with the team.

Community-Requested Features & Quality of Live Improvements

Multiple Event Leaderboard Reward Tiers

We’ve added support for multiple leaderboard reward brackets within Events.

This system gives us the flexibility to create varying levels of competition, with more challenging leaderboard brackets offering stronger rewards. If you’ve played through Season Reward tiers, you’ll be familiar with the overall concept. More details on specific reward structures will be shared alongside future events.

Disable Pack Reveal Animations

Players now have the option to disable Pack Opening Animations.

To access this setting, navigate to:

Settings → Reveal Sequences

This allows for faster pack openings and gives players more control over their experience.

Sort Inactive Players by Last Name

Managing your roster is now easier with a new sorting option that allows inactive players to be organized by last name.

Sort Inactive Players by Power Rating

We’ve added a new sorting option that allows inactive players to be sorted by Power Rating.

Whether you’re managing your roster or comparing players, this makes it easier to quickly find your strongest hitters.

Calmer Default Animations

We’ve adjusted the game’s default animations to be less extreme and less distracting.

Players who prefer a more streamlined experience should notice a smoother and more subtle presentation throughout the game.

Improved Currency Display

Gold and Cash balances are now displayed on Individual Game Mode screens and have been improved in select Store sections, making it easier to keep track of your resources while playing.

Recently Released: Shared Pitcher Lockouts

Last week we released a backend update that changed how pitcher lockouts work across game modes.

Progression Games and Event Games now share pitcher lockouts. This means players can cycle pitchers through Progression Games to better manage their rotations and keep their strongest pitchers available for Event competition.

This change is already live for all players.

Bug Fixes

Store Purchase Protection

Fixed an issue where tapping on a Store Item title could unintentionally trigger a purchase.

Win Streak Reset Fix

Addressed reported issues that could cause player win streaks to reset unexpectedly.

Tutorial Fix

Fixed an issue where a tutorial arrow could point players to the wrong location during the early-game onboarding experience.

Main Menu Lock Indicators Restored

Lock icons for features unavailable to new users have been restored to the Main Menu.

Level Up Rewards Display

Tier Up rewards now display correctly in the Level Up Rewards screen, with the exception of the current maximum configured player level.

Thank You

Many of the improvements in this update came directly from player feedback. We appreciate everyone who takes the time to share suggestions, bug reports, and ideas as we continue improving Baseball Hits 26.

We’ll see you on the field.
