The long-awaited global release date for Umamusume: Pretty Derby has finally been confirmed. Read on to discover what’s in store for international players—and how you could win an unforgettable trip to Japan!
Umamusume: Pretty Derby Coming to Steam This June 26
Mark your calendars—Umamusume: Pretty Derby is set to launch globally on Steam, iOS, and Android on June 26, 2025, as officially announced by developer Cygames via Twitter (X) on April 27, 2025.
Originally released in Japan on February 24, 2021, this charming yet competitive racing simulation game blends sports training, idol culture, and gacha mechanics into a vibrant world where legendary racehorses are reborn as high school-aged "horse girls." These unique characters attend Tracen Academy in Tokyo, where they train hard, compete in races, and perform dazzling stage shows.
Players take on the role of a trainer guiding these Uma Musumes toward stardom through an immersive training system, dynamic event scenes, and beautifully rendered 3D graphics.
According to the official Steam page description, players will “scout featured trainees and supporters as you navigate the immersive sports life simulation through the game’s in-depth training system and top-of-the-line 3D graphics!” With over 20 Uma Musumes available to collect and develop, each offering their own personality and playstyle, the game delivers endless replayability.
In March 2025, PocketGamer.biz reported that the Japanese version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby had surpassed $2.5 billion in mobile revenue within just four years of its launch. In fact, it nearly reached $1 billion in its debut year alone. With the English version now on the horizon, Cygames aims to replicate that success across the globe.
