First announced on April 5 before deploying early morning the next day, the MLB The Show 24 update 1.04 patch notes reveal another batch of bug fixes. While the Real 99 issue in Co-Op gained a lot of attention in recent days, they've also made good steps in updating some fonts throughout the game to help with accessibility.

Player locked cameras in Road to the Show got some refinement, and a few tweaks were also made to most other game modes. They did clarify in the patch notes that "there are no gameplay or live content balance changes at this time," so anyone who thinks they suddenly can't hit the ball after this update might want to hit batting practice.

Here are the complete MLB The Show 24 update 1.04 patch notes:

  • Fixed multiple freezes across head-to-head and co-op modes.
