Rival Stars Horse Racing News

Saddle up, racers!

The next Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition update is set to launch in just a few weeks, and it's bringing a brand new breed with it. The Mustang is heading to Desktop!

With its bold attitude and long, flowing mane, the Mustang is right at home in the pastures, but don’t be fooled. This breed is built for tough terrain and is the perfect choice when it comes to taking on the challenge of Canyon Falls.

We’ll have more to share about update 1.31 soon, so keep an eye out.

Hotfix 1.30.1 has been released to address an issue impacting the sprint bar in the Whirlaway Peak race

Fixed: Fixed an issue where the sprint bar failed to refill in the Whirlaway Peak race

Thank you for being so patient as we worked to address the issue.

Happy racing all :)

Hi everyone,

We've identified an issue affecting the Sprint bar in the Whirlaway Peak limited-time event. Players with the "Strong Starter" and "Perfect Starter" skills equipped may notice problems with sprint energy regeneration.

We're actively investigating a fix, but in the meantime, we recommend unequipping these skills during the event.

We do apologise for any frustration this has caused. Thanks for your continued support and patience.

Welcome back to another round of update notes for Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition!

In this update, we’re opening the gates to a brand new Free Roam location. Head past the show jumping arena and into the wilds.

[h2]Introducing Canyon Falls—[/h2]

Welcome to Canyon Falls—A fresh new area with a whole new look. Think rugged cliffs, winding canyons, and stretches of wild bush dotted with sunlit cacti. Everything’s bathed in warm, golden light, giving it a laid-back, Western feel.

You can gallop through wide open valleys, snap some sunset shots of your horse, or just take it easy by the peaceful waterfall that inspired the name. There’s also a cosy barn and a quiet pasture tucked into the canyon—perfect for those everyday, down-to-earth moments.

There’s plenty to uncover, and we can’t wait to see the photos you capture in this beautiful new environment
