WELLINGTON, New Zealand – April 30, 2024 – Rival Stars Horse Racing: VR Edition, the debut VR entry in the world’s most successful horse racing and equestrian mobile game franchise of all time from developer PikPok, canters towards a Meta Quest Store and Steam VR launch in Q4 2024 and a to-be-confirmed launch on Apple Vision Pro.


An all-new entry in the beloved Rival Stars Horse Racing series is a built-from-the-ground-up VR experience offering the most immersive take on horse racing and the equestrian lifestyle ever made. Step into the stirrups for a first-person experience of raising a world-class stable of foals into future raceway and cross-country champions.


Aspire to bring home the trophy by taking on the prestigious role of stable master. Breed horses to discover new eye-catching coats and patterns.
