Umamusume: Pretty Derby Goes Global on Steam

Mark Your Calendars for June 26

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is galloping towards its English debut, set to launch globally on Steam. Cygames, the developer, announced via Twitter (X) on April 27 that the game will hit the shelves on June 26, 2025. Pre-registration opened the very next day on April 28, offering eager fans a chance to prepare for the race.

Originally launched in Japan on February 24, 2021, for iOS, Android, and PC, Umamusume: Pretty Derby introduces players to a world where legendary racehorses are reborn as "horse girls" or "Umamusume." These charming characters, with the appearance of high school girls yet possessing the traits of horses, train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy to chase their dreams of becoming renowned racers and idols.

The game's Steam page highlights its immersive sports life simulation, featuring an in-depth training system and stunning 3D graphics. Players can scout and train over 20 unique Uma Musumes through a gacha system, compete in races, and dazzle with performances.

According to PocketGamer.biz, the Japanese version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby amassed 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 release, Cygames aims to replicate this success on a global scale.
