Enter the Hall of Fame: Celebrating Rival Stars’ Greatest Champions!
The new Hall of Fame is here to immortalize the most exceptional racers and showcase Rival Stars Horse Racing’s best in every discipline. This feature not only honors the top achievers but also guides new players on their journey to competitive racing by giving them a look at some of the game’s most legendary champions.
In the Hall of Fame, you’ll find the top 25 players in each discipline, distance, surface, and grade, celebrated for all to admire. To access this feature, head to the Event Hub and find the Hall of Fame just below the new Teams tab. From here, you can explore the Leaderboards and filter by Game Mode, Distance, Track Surface, or Horse Grade.
Selecting any category reveals the top 25 players, including their team names, horse details, and record times.
But what makes the Hall of Fame truly shine is the ability to view the details of record-breaking horses. This information is captured at the time the record was broken and includes the Name, Grade, Training Level, Breed, Stats, Traits, Skills, and Diet Plans of each record-holding horse. Not only can you showcase your own prize horses, but you can also learn more about who you’re competing against, making this a useful tool for those aiming for the top of the leaderboards.
And when you set a new record, you’ll get a pop-up after the race congratulating you, showing your placing, and inviting you to check out your achievement in the Hall of Fame. Since the Hall of Fame will open with a clean slate, this is your chance to set the very first world records and claim your spot on the leaderboard early. Each score will even show how long ago it was achieved, so challenge yourself to hold that top spot as long as you can—and see if you have what it takes to stand out among Rival Stars’ greatest!
Discover Your Perfect Team
The Social tab in the Event Hub has now been updated to a dedicated Teams tab to make finding, joining, and keeping up to date with teams easier and more informative! Earlier, you could see team names, player count, region, and team descriptions, but now you’ll also have the chance to view each team’s Activity Score and Average Ranking before joining—helping you find the best match.
We’ve also made visual improvements to the team menus and added a Teams button to the main menu for quick access to your team hub. Go explore the updates and find your perfect team!
