Umamusume: Pretty Derby Releases Globally on Steam

Coming This June 26

Developer Cygames announced via Twitter (X) on April 27 that Umamusume: Pretty Derby will launch its English version on June 26, 2025. Pre-registrations kicked off on April 28, allowing eager fans to get a head start. Originally released in Japan on February 24, 2021, for iOS, Android, and PC, this game brings a unique twist to the racing genre. In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, legendary racehorses are reborn as "horse girls" or "Umamusume," blending the appearance of high school girls with the attributes of horses. These characters train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy, aiming to become renowned racers and idols.

According to the game's Steam page, players can immerse themselves in a sports life simulation with an in-depth training system and top-of-the-line 3D graphics. The game features a gacha system, offering over 20 Uma Musumes for players to scout, train, and compete in races. In March 2025, PocketGamer.biz reported that the Japanese version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby generated over $2.5 billion in mobile revenue within just four years, nearly hitting $1 billion in its first year. Cygames is eager to replicate this success worldwide with the English release.
