Umamusume Pretty Derby celebrates #1 on Steam milestone: How to claim the Carats giveaway rewards

Umamusume Pretty Derby has officially reached the #1 spot on Steam. To thank players for their support, Cygames is running a Carats (in-game currency) giveaway. As part of the celebration, all players can now claim 1,500 Carats through the in-game Presents menu.

To get your free Carats, head to the Main Menu, open the Presents section, and claim the reward. No extra steps, no special requirements, just log in and grab it while it’s available.

With that out of the way, let's look more into the current situation of the game and how it has been faring on Steam.

Umamusume Pretty Derby: Top seller on Steam, Carats giveaway, and more

The celebratory Carats giveaway was announced as a thank-you to the community after the game surged to the top of Steam’s global top sellers list. Umamusume currently ranks among the top sellers on the platform and sits alongside heavy hitters like Counter-Strike 2, PUBG Battlegrounds, and Marvel Rivals on the top five free-to-play games list. It also climbed back into the list of top 20 most-played games on Steam, with a new peak of 87,453 concurrent players just two days ago.

The boost in player activity follows the launch of the game’s first major global content update. This update includes the “Brand New Friends” story event and features limited banners for characters Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen.
