Developer Cygames announced that as of August 31, 2023, its horse girl mobile game Uma Musume: Pretty Derby surpassed 19 million downloads cumulatively on the Japanese App Store, Google Play and PC. People will be given 1,500 jewels to celebrate. A celebratory visual of Tokai Teio, Special Week, and Mejiro McQueen appeared in honor of the milestone as well. [Thanks, Game Watch!]
Here’s the official announcement heralding the milestone. It noted that the 1,500 jewels will be distributed to all players who have at minimum completed the tutorial. These jewels can be used in the gacha or other areas in the game to speed up progress. 1,500 jewels is enough for one ten-pull in its gacha.

On March 24, 2023, Cygames announced that Uma Musume passed 18 million downloads. It has taken about five months to reach this latest milestone of 19 million.
A global release of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby was also hinted at by Google in March 2023, although it’s still unclear whether that will come to fruition or not. The game is now available in Simplified Chinese. Season three of the Uma Musume anime adaptation was recently revealed to begin airing this October.
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is available to download on iOS and Android devices, as well as PCs, in Japan. The anime adaptation is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
