Umamusume: Pretty Derby Releases Globally on Steam

Coming This June 26

Get ready to saddle up! Umamusume: Pretty Derby is sprinting towards its English release, expanding its horse girls racing simulation to a global audience. Cygames took to Twitter (X) on April 27 to announce that the game will launch on June 26, 2025, with pre-registrations kicking off on April 28.

Originally launched in Japan on February 24, 2021, for iOS, Android, and PC, the game features legendary racehorses reborn as "horse girls" or "Umamusume." These characters blend the appearance of high school girls with the ears, tails, endurance, and speed of horses. They train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy, aiming to become top racers and idols.

The game's Steam page promises an immersive sports life simulation, complete with an in-depth training system and top-notch 3D graphics. Players can scout and train over 20 different Uma Musumes, engage in races, and showcase stunning performances, all within a gacha system framework.

PocketGamer.biz reported in March 2025 that the Japanese version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby amassed over $2.5 billion in mobile revenue within just four years, nearly hitting $1 billion in its debut year of 2021. Cygames is eager to replicate this triumph with its English release.
