Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s global popularity has sparked countless fan tributes, but one project is going above and beyond, bringing the horse girl phenomenon into virtual reality.
A team of talented Uma fans has built a fully functional Umamusume racing game inside VRChat, allowing players to step into the shoes (or hooves) of their favorite characters and sprint around a 3D racetrack.
The game in question recreates the intense, tactical races of the popular mobile title that is taking the world by storm. Not only does it enable you to compete as your favorite horse girls, but you can also use honorary horse girls like the prince of the fallen Saiyan race, Vegeta.
Umamusume VR is a reality thanks to new fan game
A clip of the fan game has received attention on X, with gameplay showcasing the signature lane-switching, game-changing skill activations, and stamina and speed bars that make the original so thrilling.
If that wasn’t enough, fans can also take on the role of the game’s commentators, who enthusiastically shoutcast the entire match, which really adds an extra layer of fun to each race.
What sets this apart from previous tributes is its mechanical depth. Races aren’t just about speed, they include strategic positioning, sprint timing, and care skill activation to ensure you get across the finish line in style.
This isn’t the first time Umamusume fans have gone all-in on creative tributes. A separate fan-made Roblox mode previously reimagined Tokyo Racecourse in 3D, where it gained traction across social media, but the VRChat version brings a new level of immersion that’s sure to leave fans sprinting for the finish line.
As Umamusume’s popularity grows globally, the fan creations show just how passionate the community has become, crafting their own racetracks, avatars, and even entire game modes to keep the dream running.
