Umamusume: Pretty Derby[Note 3] is a multiplayer cinematic camera and side view racing, simulation and sports game developed by Cygames.
It was first released on February 24, 2021[1] for Android and iOS. PC port was released in Japan on March 10, 2021[2] in which the game progress can be tied up with mobile version by linking the mobile version account to DMM account and required to use DMM Game Player to access the game.
South Korea version also released their own Beta PC client version on June 15, 2023 after one year release of the game in South Korea.[3] Although the PC client was labelled Beta, the game client is up to date with the mobile client and the Beta status might be used to avoid certain issues.
On April 27, 2025, Cygames officially announced that the English version and Japanese version of the game will be launched on Steam on June 26, 2025 and wishlist is available beginning on April 28, 2025.[4][5] Unlike prior PC releases, the Steam versions were self-published by Cygames.
On September 10, 2025, DMM Game Player version has been updated to have functionality similar with Steam version with additional tweaks of having additional game data downloaded into game installed folder instead of %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Cygames.[6]
