Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a free-to-play training simulator by Cygames in which players coach anthropomorphized racehorses through racing careers. It launched in Japan on February 24, 2021 and became one of Japan's highest-grossing mobile games. The global English version launched on June 26, 2025 for iOS, Android, and Steam, published by Cygames itself. [1] [3]
Pull system
Main article: Gacha system
The game runs two parallel gachas, and effective play requires both: a character gacha for the trainable umamusume and a support card gacha for the cards that shape each training run. Published numbers for each: [2]
| Parameter | Character gacha | Support card gacha |
|---|---|---|
| Top rarity rate | 3% (3-star character) | 3% (SSR card) |
| Featured rate-up | typically 0.75% | typically 0.75% |
| Cost per pull | 150 Carats | 150 Carats |
| Exchange ceiling | 200 points | 200 points |
Every pull grants one exchange point, and 200 points buy the banner's featured 3-star character or SSR card outright, a ceiling of 30,000 Carats. Points are per banner and expire when it ends. [2] There is no rate escalation and no hard pity below the ceiling.
The two-gacha structure roughly doubles the spending surface compared with single-gacha games, and support cards, not characters, are usually the competitive bottleneck, since cards benefit from duplicates (limit breaks) up to four times. See dupe system.
Relation to the spark tradition
The 200-point exchange follows the ceiling convention Cygames established in Granblue Fantasy in 2016, halved from 300 to 200 pulls. The Japanese community calls both by the same name, tenjou (ceiling); English-speaking players usually say spark.
Service status
Main article: Release history
Both the Japanese and global versions are in active service as of July 2026. The global version marked its first anniversary on June 26, 2026, alongside the release of the main story finale. No structural gacha changes have been identified in 2026.
