RELEASE NOTES for 1.80 - UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL RELEASE IS LIVE

Here is what you can expect in the upcoming release and what events are on the horizon. The release is expected to go live Tuesday, December 17th at approximately 15:30 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. 

All Platforms

• Zwifters riding in all Zwift worlds will now see the new route overview below the mini map, showing the route's elevation changes, sprints, and climb segments (this was previously only available in Watopia). If you deviate from a route at an intersection, the original overview will be shown instead.

• Route lead-ins are now highlighted in blue in the new route progress overview in the mini-map.

• The screen shake effect can now be disabled in Zwift Settings under the Audio & Video tab. When disabled, the screen will no longer shake when riding on rough surfaces like cobblestones.

• Fixed an issue that could cause the "Start Ride" button to not be selected by default when viewing a workout.

• Fixed an issue that could potentially show incorrect elevation in the dynamic elevation display for the climb in Jarvis and The Grade in Watopia.

• Fixed incorrect pedestrian walking animations in New York.

• Fixed an issue that could cause the elapsed time icon to overlap with the time value.

• Fixed an issue that could cause the "More Power!" alert to overlap with the average power value shown during ramp test workouts.

• Fixed an issue that could cause the speed unit shown in the HUD to overlap with the distance value.

• Fixed an issue that could cause the in-game leaderboard sidebar to overlap with the upcoming event countdown.

• Fixed an issue that could prevent the Shorelines and Summits route in Watopia from being completed if scheduled for multiple laps in an event.

• Corrected the peak difficulty of the Tractor Pulls workout which was previously higher than intended.

• Training Stress Score (TSS) has been renamed to Stress Points (SP).

Android

• Fixed missing bridge railings in the Shisa Shakedown route in Makuri Islands.

• Fixed an issue that could cause the Zwifter's level to not be shown in the HUD after receiving a Ride On.

iOS, tvOS

UPCOMING EVENTS:

Under embargo until Dec 19

Rapha Festive 500 is iconic and a staple in the cycling calendar for many riders. Every year since 2010, Rapha has laid down this festive riding challenge: to ride 500 kilometres between 24th - 31st December. This year, Zwift will, again, host opportunities for riders to get that mileage in virtually.

Want the virtual unlock? Complete any of the Rapha Festive 500 events taking place every other hour and knock out 50km. Otherwise, RoboPacers will be migrating to flat routes in Watopia to help gain mileage the fastest.

Event Date: Dec 28 at 8am Eastern Time

As another way to get your Rapha Festive 500 distance, you can join Eric Min as he completes the massive London PRL Full. This will be Eric Min's final badge to unlock... for now. Get mileage in, unlock the Rapha Festive 500 kit, and snag the badge that is one of the most daunting in Zwift.

Event will be available for signing up on Dec 19.

Train smarter in 2025 with Zwift’s all-new workout program, Zwift Camp: Baseline. Over six weeks, challenge yourself with six Zwift Camp: Baseline rides—three workouts and three tests—to unlock a deeper understanding of your strengths as a rider. Afterward, you’ll get your personalized Rider Strength Report via email, spotlighting your standout skill: Sprinting, Attacking, Endurance, or Versatility.

There is a great reveal when you enter Jarvis for the first time. Anything to know?

For most people, the experience getting into Jarvis will be majestic. In the chance you experience both nighttime and rain prior to your first entrance into Jarvis, consider riding a little longer so it either stops raining or daytime begins before starting your Jarvis visit.

Is there a game minimum to enter Jarvis?

Yes, you must be on game version 1.77 or later.

Can I see the cool Jarvis unveil again the next time I enter the section of the map?

No, this is a special visual that only occurs on your first entrance into Jarvis. Once you start the unveil, it cannot be reset to show again in the future.

Anything I should know about the new mini map in Watopia?

A known experience is that the legacy mini map will return if you venture off your route or make a u-turn. This is something that will be addressed in a future release.
