The Jump into free roam update is here!

Hello from the Desktop Edition team of Rival Stars Horse Racing!

The first update outlined in our 2022 Content Roadmap is finally here and we’re excited to share that as per the “jump into free roam” theme, the jump feature is now available in Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition!



Not only has the jump feature been added to Desktop Edition, but it also comes with some exclusive features.

Let’s take a look.

[h2]No time limits. Just fun![/h2]

Everyone loves spending time with their favorite horses, and in Desktop Edition we’re giving you the keys to the gate!

With no time limit and a new jumping course, you can explore the homestead to your heart’s content without a limit to the amount of time you can spend taking in the sights.



[h2]Watch your Stamina![/h2]

The secret to victory is knowing what your racehorse is capable of, and to do that you’ll need to master the stamina system!

In free roam you can now practice managing your horses’ stamina and get a feel of how the stamina system works outside of races! We believe that each horse should feel unique, and in Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition you’ll get to experience that in free roam. We encourage you to try it out with different horses and see how each of them is unique!

This is just the first installment of updates released this year, and we look forward to bringing you new content and new features in the future. Have fun and we’ll see you next time!

~The Rival Stars Team.

Full Notes:
  • Jump is now available in Free Roam.
  • No time Limits.
  • Added Jump Course to Free Roam environment.
  • Added stamina bar to Free Roam.
