No External PC Client

The game does not feature any external or official clients and has no independent launchers which means Steam is the only way to play the game officially on PC.

Available on iOS and Android

Debut GB
The game is also available on Mobile iOS and Android for Global servers. This is the primary method of playing the game before the PC Version and aside from some changes in the user interface, is mostly similar without any major differences.

Not Available for Other Platforms

Platforms Main
The game is currently unavailable for PlayStation, Xbox or Switch and Cygames has no official announcement for its availability on other platforms.

Which Version is Best to Play?

Both Versions are Good

Team Races VS
Playing the PC version grants you some higher resolution characters, a larger viewing area to befit the PC release of the game and some UI adjustments, but is mostly similar to the mobile version of the game, which can be installed and played on the go.

Both versions therefore can be chosen by the player as there are no major differences between the PC version and the Mobile version.

Paid Carats Discrepancy

Free Carats

Do note that your paid carats will only stay on the Umamusume: Pretty Derby platform you bought them in. Don't worry as they will stay there, make sure to spend it on the same platform to avoid any issues!

Data Link Between PC and Mobile

Open Data Link in Menu
You can link and transfer your progress on another device and back by using the Data Link function. Have your main and secondary device ready with the game open and perform these quick steps:

  1. Open the Data Link feature on your main device and set a Link Password and remember your Trainer ID.
  2. Open the Data Link feature in the title screen on the 2nd device and choose the Link option. Enter the Link Password and Trainer ID from the main device.
  3. After confirming with the game, wait for a bit and your progress from the main account will be transferred to the secondary device. Your progress on the secondary device will be deleted.
