San Diego Studio says it has fixed an MLB The Show 26 issue that caused Vault Packs to give players incorrect contents. In its October 5 notice, the studio also says it has sent a fresh Vault Pack to affected players.
Quick answer: If you were affected by the Vault Pack contents issue, check your inventory for the replacement. SDS says the fix rolled out on Saturday, October 3.
When was the Vault Pack issue fixed?
The official MLB The Show announcement separates the original issue, the fix and the replacement notice:
| Date | What SDS confirmed |
|---|---|
| Friday, October 2 | Vault Packs were distributing incorrect contents. |
| Saturday, October 3 | The fix rolled out. |
| Monday, October 5 | SDS announced that affected players had been sent a fresh Vault Pack. |
October 5 is the announcement date. The studio says the correction was already deployed on Saturday. It has not provided exact start and end times for the affected pack openings.
Who should check for a replacement?
SDS directs players affected by the contents issue to check their inventory. The announcement describes compensation for those players; it does not announce a free Vault Pack for every account.
The replacement is described as a fresh Vault Pack. The notice does not promise a particular player card, a Stub payment or a change to the pack's odds. It also does not specify a replacement for each individual pack opened, so the announcement should not be read as a per-pack compensation formula.
What if your replacement is missing?
If you encountered the issue and cannot find the replacement, use MLB The Show's official support. Include your platform, the pack you opened and the approximate date and time to help identify the opening.
SDS has not given a delivery deadline or a separate claim process in this notice. Keep your report focused on the incorrect Vault Pack contents and the missing replacement. The announcement does not establish that another pack type is affected or that every disappointing pull was caused by this issue.
