Umamusume: Pretty Derby hands us the reins to train the best umas (horse girls) in Tracen Academy within the game’s Career Mode. Each uma’s story is unique, with powerful motivation and engaging sub-stories. However, the small in-game dialogue text can be a challenge for many players to read. If you’ve found yourself squinting at what characters are trying to say, you’re not alone.

While this issue is expected on mobile, playing on a PC doesn’t make it much better. The gameplay screen is still in a portrait format and it sacrifices accessibility. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t include a native setting to enlarge text. Still, there are a few ways you can improve readability and reduce eye strain while enjoying your favorite uma’s journey.

Use Built-In Accessibility Tools on Your Device

Even though the game lacks a dedicated text-size setting, your device’s accessibility options can help bridge the gap. On both Android and iOS, you can enable screen magnification or text enlargement features that will make in-game text easier to read.

  • Android Users: Head to Settings > Accessibility >  Magnification. Once enabled, you can triple-tap the screen to zoom in on text-heavy sections of the game.
  • iPhone/iPad Users: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Zoom, then enable the feature. Double-tapping with three fingers will let you zoom in on parts of the screen, including menus and skill descriptions.

Switch To a Device with a Larger Screen

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is available across Android, iOS, and PC. If you’re currently playing on a smartphone, switching to a device with a larger display can significantly improve text readability. iPads and tablets offer greater screen real estate, making the small fonts and detailed UI elements much easier to read. Devices like the Steam Deck or a laptop also maintain ease of use while significantly enlarging the display.
