Here’s the placeholder for that presentation.

As a note, the stream will only be available in Japanese. You can catch it on the official PakaTube channel, which is a channel specifically for Umamusume: Pretty Derby. The stream will likely also include information for the main Japanese server of the game.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby first came out in Japan in movies. In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you are a trainer at Tracen Academy, which is a training school for umamusume, or horse girls. When you start the game, you can choose which girl you want to train. Throughout her scenario, you can raise her to become the star racer and center of her year. There’s also a story mode that focuses more on an ensemble cast.

Since the game came out, it’s been ridiculously popular, becoming the 21 million s. All those stats are with Japan as its only market, as well.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is readily available on Windows PC and mobile devices in Japan. The global version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby is in development, and we’ll hear more news about it on April 27, 2025.
