Hello Riders,
Today we are releasing a major update – perhaps our most significant one yet! Here is what’s new:
Career Mode
The world’s best riders don't just reach the pinnacle of the sport; they stay there. Success isn't about finding a once-in-a-lifetime horse – it's about the ability to develop different horses all the way to the top. In Career Mode, you will do exactly that.
Prove your mastery over 20 seasons by managing a string of horses. As your Grand Prix star retires, your Performance horse steps up, and a new young Prospect joins the string – allowing you to develop 7 unique horses in total throughout your journey.
Horses will improve over time based on your results. This is your chance to prove you are the ultimate Pro Show Jumping player by adapting your style to bring out the best in every horse.
Steam Leaderboards are now live for seasonal results, individual horse results, and overall career standings.
New Arenas and Obstacles
3 new arenas are available: One indoor arena inspired by the London International Horse Show, plus two configurations (day, night) of an outdoor grass arena inspired by the historic Aachen venue.
We’ve doubled the number of available obstacles, including a beautiful Tori wall and the infamous "cow wall" – a signature feature of the Geneva CHI.
Graphics
Next-Gen Upscaling Technology: We have updated to the latest upscaling algorithms. You can now select your preferred method in the Options menu. Supported tech includes DLSS 4.5/4.0, FSR 4.1/3.0, and XeSS 3. Try them out to find the perfect balance of quality and performance for your system.
Optimization: Enjoy smoother gameplay with the most recent performance improvements.
Minor Improvements
Save files are now stored on the Steam Cloud with integrated backups. This addresses previous issues regarding local file corruption and ensures your progress and records are safe.
Added a new UI panel on the course initialization screen featuring the course name, course height, horse name and your Steam user name. This is especially helpful in Career Mode, where you may ride up to 9 consecutive classes at a single venue.
Added an option to mute all in-game music.
Fixed a bug that prevented the keyboard from functioning when naming user-created courses or exercises
