With us beginning a release/patch cadence of every two weeks, here is what you can expect in the upcoming release and what events are on the horizon. The release is expected to go live Wednesday, May 31st at approximately 15:00 UTC. This release will be a rolling release, meaning we will scale up the percentage of people with the release over a few days to minimize bugs or crashes. Below you will find the updates included in this release.
THIS INFORMATION UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL MAY 17TH, 15:00 UTC / 11:00 AM EDT / 9:00 AM MDT / 8:00 AM PDT.
- You can now compete against other Zwifter's HoloReplays! After turning "Leaderboard HoloReplay" to "Show" in the game settings menu, you will see a HoloReplay within your capabilities spawn from another Zwifter's time on any segment or route from the leaderboard. To read more about the new HoloReplay addition or to leave some feedback, head to this thread.
- When participating in events, the 30-minute timer to use Coffee Stop will now begin when the event is scheduled to start instead of when Zwifters join the pen. Zwifters will still get the 30 second Coffee Stop in the first 5 minutes. Coffee Stop is still not usable in races or other competitive events.
- The coast is calling - gear up for the all new Zwift Ride Series! Beginning in June, weekly curated courses will take you on a journey through the coasts of Makuri and Watopia, unlocking a "Coastal Cruise" achievement badge.
- Fixed an issue where other riders occasionally weren't shown in the "Zwifted With" list after an activity.
- Apple TV: Fixed an issue with Apple TV remotes not selecting the game menu button when the Back button was pressed.
We will be deprecating iOS 12 for Zwift Companion starting May 31. This will bring Zwift Companion requirements in line with the Zwift App.
Check out the details for events that are coming up in the next month. All events are available to be covered in marketing promotions beginning the date of registration or first in-market date.
Details: It’s time to do some island hopping with the Coastal Cruise Zwift Ride Series. Get ready for a holiday in the tropics with 4-weeks of sun-filled rides along the coasts of Watopia and Makuri. Pack your sunscreen, these rides might be under an hour, but they heat up quickly.
This is a new monthly group ride series that will have a theme and completion badge you can count on each month.
