Press release:
Wellington, New Zealand – March 18, 2026 – Developer and publisher PikPok are excited to announce that its equestrian lifestyle sim Rival Stars Horse Racing will be coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox One on April 28, and Nintendo Switch coming soon.

The game has over 4,600 reviews on Steam with a 92% positive rating following its PC release, and more than 50 million downloads across mobile and PC VR. Now this immersive horse racing simulator is making the jump to console, with stunning horses, an in-depth genetic breeding system and, of course, plenty of racing to get players on the edge of their saddles. Rival Stars Horse Racing is the perfect game for any equestrian fanatics looking to become legends.

Players will be given the keys to a rundown ranch to make their own and tasked with restoring their family’s racing legacy. Supported by a beloved cast, they’ll raise adorable foals before entering flat races, Steeplechase, Show Jumping, and Cross Country events, turning their nurtured foals into their very own champions!

That’s not all: rather than, if players don’t fancy a day at the races, they can simply relax with their horse in a stunning free roam environment. Better yet, there’s also the chance to capture some snaps with their faithful stead in photo mode, making memories picture perfect.

Rival Stars Horse Racing features animations captured with real-life motion capture, meaning these realistic race horses are the closest players can get to actually jumping in the saddle themselves.

They can race alone through a full story campaign, or take their skills online and compete on tracks inspired by some of the most famous locations in the racing world.
