Umamusume: Pretty Derby Launches Globally on Steam
Coming Soon: June 26, 2025
Cygames officially revealed on April 27 via Twitter (X) that the English version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby will launch globally on June 26, 2025, with pre-registrations opening the very next day—April 28.
Originally released in Japan on February 24, 2021 for iOS, Android, and PC, Umamusume: Pretty Derby blends sports simulation and idol culture into a charming anime-style world. In this universe, legendary racehorses are reborn as anthropomorphic horse girls known as "Umamusume." These characters attend Tracen Academy in Tokyo, where they train rigorously to become top racers and entertainment idols.
As described on its Steam page, players will be able to "scout featured trainees and supporters" while experiencing an immersive training simulation enhanced by detailed mechanics and high-quality 3D graphics. The game features a gacha system allowing players to collect and train over 20 unique Uma Musumes, each with their own personalities, skills, and racing styles.
According to PocketGamer.biz, the Japanese version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby generated over $2.5 billion in mobile revenue within just four years, nearly hitting the $1 billion mark in its debut year of 2021. With the English version on the horizon, Cygames aims to bring that same level of success to a global audience.
