What is Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition?
PikPok’s Desktop Edition is the paid PC build of a horse game that began as a free-to-play mobile release. You take over a rundown family ranch and work it back up, training and racing horses in a story mode, breeding foals through a genetics system, and upgrading the homestead. Racing splits between flat courses and Cross Country jumping, with online multiplayer alongside the campaign. PikPok’s Steam FAQ lists Horse Creator, Betting Party and live multiplayer as desktop-only. The in-game betting is why Epic’s listing carries an ESRB Teen rating for simulated gambling.
Questions about this giveaway
Was Rival Stars Horse Racing free on Epic before?
No. This is its first Epic giveaway, and the PC edition only reached the store with this promotion. GG.deals records the current $0 as the all-time low across every store it tracks.
Can I play it on Mac or Linux?
Epic lists Windows and Mac OS, so a Mac claim works. Linux is not listed. PikPok’s Steam page notes the macOS build does not render high-definition grass, the only platform difference the developer flags.
Is it cheaper anywhere else right now?
No. Steam lists it at $29.99, currently cut to $11.99, and Epic’s own regular price is $24.99. Key resellers sit near $14. Free on Epic is the lowest it has ever been, and the copy is permanent.
