Umamusume: Pretty Derby Maintenance
If you're an avid fan of Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you'll want to mark your calendars for a brief but necessary downtime. The game will be undergoing a maintenance period on December 17th, 2025, from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. (UTC). During this window, players won’t be able to access the game or any of its features, so it’s a good time to take a break whether you need it or not!
This type of maintenance is a normal part of keeping the game running smoothly. Developers regularly use this downtime to implement improvements, fix bugs, or roll out new content. While it can be a bit frustrating when you just want to dive into the action, it’s all for the long-term health of the game. So, take a deep breath, plan your next play session, and we’ll all be back in action after the maintenance is done!
Umamusume: Pretty Derby Maintenance Duration – How Long Will Servers Be Down?
As mentioned, the maintenance will take place from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. (UTC). That’s a four-hour window, and during this time, the servers will be completely unavailable. If you’re an early riser or an international player, it’s important to plan around this time to avoid any inconvenience.
Here’s the thing: while the maintenance period is set to last four hours, things don’t always go exactly as planned. Sometimes, unforeseen issues may crop up, and the maintenance period could extend a bit longer. But don’t worry Umamusume’s team will update players if anything changes.
Once the maintenance ends, don’t rush back in too fast! Right after the servers go live again, you may experience some connectivity issues. This happens when a lot of players all try to log in at once, which can create some temporary lag or difficulty connecting. If that happens to you, it’s a good idea to wait a few minutes and try again. It’s a little bit like trying to enter a concert hall right as the doors open—there's a mad rush for seats!
What Players Should Do Now
If you find yourself repeatedly tapping “retry” during the downtime, take a breath—your team, support cards, and that lovingly built skills layout will all be waiting when the servers return.
Maintenance is a regular part of the live service ride; it keeps things running smoothly and sometimes comes with hidden surprises for Trainers who stick around.
Here’s a casual to-do list for those two maintenance hours:
-
Check Official Channels: Updates about server status or unexpected delays will land first on the official Twitter/X account (@umamusume_eng) or the website. Community Discords and Reddit are quick, but go to the source for the real news.
-
Don’t Spam Logins: Jumping in again and again doesn’t get you in faster. Wait a few minutes between tries if you’re really eager.
-
Review Release Notes: Odds are, some cool event, banner, or surprise update is going live post-maintenance. Half the fun is reading speculation threads while you wait.
