Umamusume: Pretty Derby is sprinting towards its global release, introducing the captivating horse girls racing simulation to players worldwide.

Originally launched in Japan on February 24, 2021, for iOS, Android, and PC, the game offers a unique narrative where legendary racehorses are reborn as "horse girls" or "Umamusume." These characters, resembling high school girls with equine traits like ears and tails, train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy with the goal of becoming renowned racers and idols.
The game's Steam page highlights an immersive sports life simulation, featuring an in-depth training system and top-of-the-line 3D graphics. Players can scout from over 20 Uma Musumes, utilizing the game's gacha system to train them and compete in races while showcasing stunning performances.
According to PocketGamer.biz's report in March 2025, the Japanese version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby amassed over $2.5 billion in mobile revenue within just four years, nearly reaching $1 billion in its debut year of 2021. With its English version set to launch, Cygames is poised to achieve similar success on a global scale.
