Umamusume: Pretty Derby Launches Globally on Mobile

• Umamusume: Pretty Derby is now officially available in English-speaking regions.
• This critically praised sports simulation game features one of the most unique—yet utterly engaging—concepts around.
• Train and race your horse girls as you lead them to victory in the renowned Twinkle Series.

It's safe to say that few upcoming game releases have generated as much anticipation as Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Cygames' multimedia phenomenon has already spawned a manga, an anime, and even a stage adaptation. Now, at last, the original mobile sensation, Umamusume: Pretty Derby, is receiving a worldwide launch!

At its heart, this sports life simulator is where the entire franchise began. In a world where special young women are born with the skills—and ears—of thoroughbred racehorses, your role is to recruit a top-tier horse girl and guide her to glory, aiming for triumph in the celebrated Twinkle Series.

Without a doubt, the premise itself captures your imagination. Yet, Umamusume doesn't simply rely on its novelty. Instead of leaning on the unusual concept alone, the game dazzles with vibrant 3D visuals, interactive systems, and a deeply absorbing narrative that makes you forget you're essentially watching a sprint on the track.

They're racing!

Just how big an impact has Umamusume: Pretty Derby made? On Steam—a platform not particularly known for embracing mobile ports—the game has earned an Overwhelmingly Positive rating. That alone speaks volumes about its irresistible appeal.

What's more, the English version comes with all the original features plus some exclusive additions. Watch races unfold in landscape mode, or explore the catchy (hoof-tapping?) soundtrack in the Jukebox. There's even cross-platform synchronization between Steam and Google Play!

The game also introduces pacing adjustments for certain content: Events and Scouts now release with shorter intervals between them, though their durations remain the same. So if you've ever been curious why Umamusume fans cheerfully say, “I love the horse girl series,” maybe it’s time to jump in and experience Pretty Derby for yourself.
