軽微なバグ修正

I’m pleased to announce that the realistic jockey racing game Full Stride will be released for PlayStation®5 and Steam on July 16, 2026.

The planned price is approximately $34.99 USD.

Alongside this announcement, I have also released a new gameplay trailer and new screenshots. The latest gameplay footage showcases the core flow of the game, including the stable scene, horse editing, race registration, the race itself, post-race results, and Photo Mode.

During races, Full Stride aims to deliver an authentic jockey racing experience, featuring the tension of riding from the jockey’s perspective, position battles within the pack, timing your move, and the excitement of the final stretch.

Since the first announcement in 2024, Full Stride has continued development as a solo indie game project with warm support from many horse racing fans and game fans around the world.

I will continue development and adjustments until release. Please check out the latest gameplay trailer and screenshots, add Full Stride to your wishlist, and look forward to the release.
