- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- Zwift published their regular "This Season On Zwift" update for December 2023 - March 2024 outlining what we can expect to see on the platform in the coming months. This video covers all the details and I speculate what the secretive March event may involve.

I think they really need to make it easier to view gradient profiles during a ride/race.
Without going on zwiftpower its so difficult to see what the finish is like.
Agreed. Honestly it’s my single biggest complaint about Zwift right now and one that would be relatively easy to solve - just display the same info that’s already there but maybe a bit bigger and more contrasty colours
Yep, one of my biggest gripes too. It's been like that since I have been on Zwift (2016) and is next to useless.
These improvements are all well and good, but there are a lot of easy quick wins they seem to keep ignoring.
Yep, completely agree, considering the gradient is absolutely crucial to the ride or race, I can't belive the current approach is so poor!
There will be celebrations on the (virtual) streets when Zwift finally makes this change. Surely, they must that know we want this.
I'd like gradient to be added to the app dashboard. It's more engaging to ride with a screen cleared of data and get your metrics from the companion app on your phone.
Would still like to see a drop Garage where you could set up pre-defined combinations of wheels & frames plus helmets, shoes, socks etc. So a climbing bike, TT bike, gravel bike, race event bike etc. So frustrating having to mess about with the current set up, just want to pick a bike up and go.
I have mentioned this on the Zwift forum in the past. Seems like no brainer and something that should have been added at the beginning.
Yes, I always forget to change my bike for events. I don't know how many events I've turned up riding my TT bike setup...
I Sent that same exact idea to them a year or so ago. they thought it was a good idea, but nothing ever came of it.
Anyone else just want an option to represent your own teams kit? Lik being able to create your own clubs team kit, even from a pre selected options or basic stuff to choose from
Thanks for the updates. You do a great job with them.
Here I was foolishly expecting this big update plan was going to include new bikes or a more tempting way to spend drops. I feel like drops is still pretty overlooked on Zwift. Once you have a good setup, there really isn’t a need to keep spending drops, in my opinion.
What I really want is to be able to see my average heart rate AND my average power (as well as the instantanious data) as I am riding in Zwift
The Apple Watch has never worked reliably with Zwift so this update is GREAT NEWS IMO. As for the performance of the Apple Watch as a heart rate monitor, many studies have confirmed that the Apple Watch is a very comendable heart rate monitor with performance under most conditions as good as chest and arm straps. The one exception may be when performing burst strength activities like weight lifting where wrist heart rate monitors may lag by a couple seconds relative to chest straps. Not something I am concerned about for Zwifting. In addition, the Apple Watch is constantly monitoring for issues like atrial fibrillation. This is a nice safety feature to have on your side when Zwifting, especially for seniors and other higher risk folks who Zwift.
Always appreciate getting my Zwift updates from you. Thank you very much for all your timely videos!!
Thanks as always Shane. Top marks on live and let live.
I would love to see Zwift give real world rewards for leveling up or winning Zwift-sponsored events. I'd rather get a Zwift cap, towel or Tshirt over an in game jersey, gloves or socks. Maybe win free Zwift membership fir a month or more for winning a Zwift race or completing an epic series.
Hope all is well in Oz...lucky you getting to do Festive 500 mostly outdoors
Looking forward to all these new events coming up. I need to get up and running (riding) with Zwift again over the Xmas period
Crossing fingers for the backside epic KOM entry via southern coast. The road with roadworks is there - open it up!
I love that idea!
Custom routes would be nice, so you don't have to watch for the turn when navigating manually.
There's a dutch guy that made a free program that does just that. You create your route then you run the "runner" app and it turns for you as you ride.
Really good updates. 👍 cheers GPLama. I'm hoping for virtual shifting on Kickr V5 soon 🤞
They need some new frames in the dropshop. Factor for instance only have the "one" 😅 and seeing stats in the companion app would be nice. Average, normalized power etc without having to check it on screen 🤔
The route linking on the companion app is going to be so cool. Especially for newer players that want to get a bump in levels since the XP from route badges is worth quite a bit. I am just ending and starting new routes non-stop to rack up those
I wish there would be calendar where you can stack your plan ride workout for the whole month. Similar to TrainerRoad.
Yes please.
I would love a race series with the less used routes. As i always see the same routes in events…
I hope they update the Zwift controller to be compatible with TT bikes (and MTB for that matter).
The Queup feature sounds amazing, finally - for all of us on Apple TV😀
Hi and thanks a lot for all your videos ! HR with Apple Watch will be great, can't wait for it ;-)
I would love to see a full on mario kart style mode, where it’s a proper game. Dropping banana skins to skid people off the track, firing turtle shells and getting speed boosts from mushrooms. Could attract a whole new audience.
I don’t think they’ll ever match the gameplay fun of GTABike. I was mowed down by a car for shooting people in that. Good times. 😅
That would be awesome!
@@gplamaWow I didn't even know that was a thing and I love GTA. Perhaps GTA6 will have it for realism, hours to get from one side of the map to the other 🤣
See my streams from a while back. They’re a blast. ua-cam.com/users/liveA9gdNtZQ47Q?si=rtUMlX2KQH1YfxHg
@@gplama I'll take a look - 'a blast'....
Lap button & Lap average power in workouts please.
I find that having just 4k (with discount or 5k without) between lvls is much more rewarding than having 20k.
Just 250km between lvl instead of 1000km, which for me means basically one or two lvls max per year. Now it might go to 10lvls per year considering discount and streaks.
2:49 delighted that you can queue routes ❤
They need to dramtically improve the gradient profile and view, considering the gradient is absolutely crucial to the ride or race, I can't belive the current approach is so poor!
This! I feel like we’ve all grown accustomed but it would greatly improve the ride if you could see coming elevation more clearly
I was hoping for some actual climbs coming for Makuri. It's painfully climbless world with great potential.
Love your attitude about the avatars, super chill. Good luck with the Festive 500. Horrid weather here in Scotland so nope from me 😂
If they want to really gamefy it they should put some characters in. Maybe you could be the squirrel or they could license characters from other games. I’d quite like to be Ken from street fighter II!
Duke Nukem! Along with his one-liners! 🤣
@@gplama It's time to kick watts and chew a gel wrapper'um 😅😅
I think they should also add custom colorways and more paint schemes for the bikes. I'd love to have the Bike in game more closely resemble my real one.
Beware! If you use climb scaling on the climb portal any PR you set on the entire ride afterward will be excluded on strava, not just your time up the climb! For example, I did the climb portal on 50% just to see what its like, then once i’d completed the route i decided i’d have a go at setting a new PR around the volcano circuit, which I did, yet strava disallowed my time even though the scaling only applied to the climb portal! I feel a bit robbed.
As a GPLama member, this is what I like to see.
Would be nice if I could use the Apple Watch for HR outside too. If it could pair with wahoo bolt computer.
You say rouaates and daaaaata however you want mate! 😊
Zwift basemaps in Strava, please.
The any avatar bit is only weird with regards to the size selection. That is a nice tell for ride style in races for your competition. Watch for the skinnies on the climbs and the bigger riders for the sprint. I guess that will no longer be the case. The rest of it makes sense and is the right thing to do.
I'm already using the Apple Watch as my hrm via swift companion app but its kinda pain in the ass to connect it ngl
a distance countdown to segments would be nice
Love this idea!
Would that not be the segment appearing on the right of the screen though?
@@TheNorfolkCyclist yes but im thinking like on my element bolt it counts down to when the segment starts versus just whats left. so for example in big bunches sometimes i cant see when the actualy sprint starts but if a meter show up on top or somewhere that says .3,.2,.1... untill the start then it would be easier to know when to start
@@zwiftalete Can see how that would benefit in the bigger grouped rides, fingers crossed it's rolled out soon enough
Still hoping for virtual gearing on other trainers to arrive soon 😕
and deliver to out-of usa...
Is drafting based on the avatar's appearance or on real physics? If I take the wheel of a big tall guy that is actually a skinny person that identifies as a big tall guy, what draft effect will I get? This is a genuine question.
Based on the information I have - their real profile stats, not their visual appearance.
And some day they might have wind. 😊
Still would love to see some sort of percent or scaling number in Slope Mode and or you can do your workouts in simulation mode. On the main screen or on companion app as well should just be like a bike computer. Custom display the data you want to see all in one easy to see area. would like to see current watts, watts per kg, gradient at one easy glance
I was hoping to hear, "Virtual gearing for Wahoo Kickr Core" and "Zwift Play controllers for flat bar bikes".
thrilled about route queuing. I find it really annoying to end the ride to start a new route.
I hope the new way to earn rewards has something to do with clubs. Would love to gain some club drops!
I'm still waiting for Zwift to allow us to cash out our drops, $1 per drop. C'mon Zwift, you know it's what we all want.
1 Bitcoin per drop! 🤣
Be careful what you wish for. They might decide to monitise and pay you money that you can only spend on items in-game e.g. "pay-to-win" model. 😖
@@gplama so nothing, like their value today.😁
Will the Apple Watch support mean that power statistics will be exported to Apple Health?
Why anyone would have an issue with everyone having the ability to choose any avatar they want is beyond me. It doesn't effect you, it has nothing to do with you, so just keep it moving. I think it's a great addition to zwift, and long overdue if you ask me.
If this is a non-issue then it would not have been made an issue and changed…right? Also why were the individuals who were initially offended unable to just “keep it moving” and enjoy the game? You see how this can go both ways?
@@tyresejackson9665 Well, to be clear, it was an issue, but one of non-inclusion. For people of color or people who choose to identify differently than what it says on their birth certificate, or even just simply bigger riders like myself, the ability to be represented onscreen as we choose is important. What my statement was saying is that it should not be an issue for others. Those who seem to be offended by the choices others make that don’t affect them in any way. Perhaps it’s my liberal bias, or perhaps it’s just common sense that we should treat everyone equally and everyone should have the same freedoms.
Yes but you do realize that being a person of color is not a freedom issue. You cannot change your color in reality. So the ability to change your color on Zwift has no relevance to the color that you are in reality. If a white person needs to identify as black by way of an avatar on Zwift in order to feel free, then we have a serious problem. Again, do you see the problem here? A liberal bias shouldn’t keep your from accepting things as they are and not as we would like them to be. As a black person I find it offensive when my race is compared to someone else’s sexuality. Liberals care more about their agenda and not how their ideas affect people of color in real life.
@@tyresejackson9665 Hi tyresejackson, I hope you are well. Shepshape didn't say this was a non-issue, but rather that people shouldn't oppose other people having the option to choose whatever avatar they want in a cartoon cycling game. It's perfectly reasonable to want to do this (and a person doesn't have to be "offended" to want to do this), but it's not reasonable to insist that Zwift deny people this option. So it really doesn't "go both ways"--there are people who would like to do this, people who are fine with people having this option, people who don't care either way, and people who want to deny people this option. The last category of people are the only ones who are wrong.
To make it a non issue they should go with a tan color stick with no face. But I do see a strategic loss when racing.
When drafting in a group and know a climbs coming I size up ppl knowing smaller lighter ppl will do better than me while my larger self will have the advantage on the downhills. Other than that it is just a training platform.
My play controller experience is mixed. The disconnect/reconnect on every ride and it is only 2m from play to BT dongle.
Often the steering gets out of wack and I just drift over to centerline for no reason.
Windows? And have you tried installing the latest C++ redistributable runtime packages? (my go-to for those are over here: www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/ )
Route queuing finally!
I literally just got an email from customer support saying the watch support has been officially dropped. I just tried it yesterday and it doesn’t work so which is it?
It’s coming back soon. According to this news release.
It would be handy to have the pop-up controls on Apple Watch. I.E. change course, reactions etc.
Still no live segments and still no usable gradient graph 😕
Any mention if the route stacking will be available online? It's a royal pain to click multiple screens to get to the next workout when following a program, and not much better if you are working your way through the various routes in each world.
I love it just paid for a wahoo kickr and got a year free. nive video THANKS
Nice one!
i think on March they would launch a shop or kinda micro payments to download... new frames, colours, pro kits...
I don’t think they’ll want to deal with the nuclear war that’ll follow the introduction of microtransactions.
Climb portal scaling? Why not just put my trainer to 75% if I want to do 75% of the gradient? You can do that on any climb you want.
I’m surprised at how much I am enjoying the gradient scaling on the climb portal. Effectively turns two climb options into eight. Any news on whether one can use the 125% option for a more efficient vEveresting?
vEveresting uses Strava, and the scaling other than 100% is ineligible for Strava segments?
@@thriftest Thanks. I had visions of finding a 125% climb that’s 13% gradient to save distance and time on a Zwift vEverest. Probably should just do the Alpe since everyone does
I've been using my Apple watch for HR all the time, no issues. I just run zwift, on the pairing screen, i then open the companion app, and it sees my watch straight away. So, I wonder what will be so different with the update?
@gplama I don't recall you doing a review of Sauce for Zwift. Will you make a video about it and all the current UI shortcomings it addresses or is it taboo because it's a third party overlay?
Haven’t covered it, yet. Does it still require a second account logged in to use?
@@gplama it does, but you can set up a second account for free. It never accumulates kilometres so the trial period technically never expires. I and many others have been using it that way for ages.
Will the workouts update include custom workouts, those that are in my dropbox, so i can match my upcoming working with a route / world
Keep riding, don’t worry about it is the best advice for my entire disaster of a life. 😂😂
Wonder if they are ever gonna fix the withings scale integration
Will the AppleTV Zwift app recognize my Apple Watch in the pairing screen?
I just want to be able to pin a workout plan to the top of the workout page. Let’s say I’m doing the fondo training plan, I have to scroll all the way down whenever I go to do the next workout. Let me just pin it to the top.
Thank goodness Z are going to improve the Apple Watch sitch’ my partner has been struggling on with Apple Watch on Zwift for years, I’m told I get impatient with her not connecting!…..after watching this video obvs she’s now saying ‘see, I told you it wasn’t me’!……😂🎉😅
⌚️👌🏼
I have been thinking about getting into the Zwift game but I must admit that I am more interested in just training than the almost cult-like social media stuff that seems to be a huge priority on Zwift.
Nothing wrong with that, there are tons of options for that, some are free like mywoosh and indievelo
"Cult-like social media stuff"? What is that?
I would like the keep everyone together feature for club group rides similar to the feature in meetup rides.
It's already there! Create a club event -> Scroll down to 'Event Settings' -> Change Settings -> Toggle on 'Keep Everyone Together'. This can only be enabled for events that have 'Event Results' disabled. (Let me know if this is something you think I should cover in a Swift Zwift Tip video).
Hi, seems I had missed that setting. Clear as day now but not real evident when setting up a club ride. I have edited my club ride for today and will see how it works. Yes I think that might be a good topic for a Zwift Tip video. We are in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario. -4C here with 5 cm of snow on the ground. Will be Fat biking in the snow tomorrow. Thanks,
The other thing that would be helpful is how to add the Discord server link I have set up into the club ride. I’ve tried a few times without success.
Changing my avatar to a female straight away to piss off the blokes I overtake ;)
If you manipulate your height and weight in the settings, you can piss off most blokes before the update!
I identify as Peter Sagan, could zwift update my avatar please ?
I don’t like leveling up so fast…I went from 43 to 45 in less than month and didn’t feel like I an accomplished much. Will they unlock the challenges pass three.
When are they going to add more bikes? The Tron bike is played out. Time for something new.
Typical, just bought a Bluetooth HR monitor because of the ongoing issues with Apple Watch, still a first world problem, I’ve now got choice going forward
Happy to stop wearing chest strap if I can use Apple Watch for heart rate.
Hope that Zwift will push the avatar concept a bit further with some more colorful skins in the Fortnite game.
Has there ever been any hint from Zwift that they were interested in supporting indoor rowing?
They developed it and then scrapped it, years ago
In one word "Yes" - stay tuned
If they want to push steering maybe sell it to everyone!
They just need to show a graph how much aero advantage you loose, if youre not riding in the bunch, but a little on the side. Zwift sauce shows it with a screen overlay. It makes you buy the steering controller right away, if youre into racing.
Bruh apple tv sucks for workout selection! I did a training plan and had to go backwards through the list of workouts everytime. *snore*
And this is going to really help out. The workouts you select will be on the home screen when you've queued them up.
Will I be able to play COD while I ride using the new controller. I think more people are using other riding apps with more routes etc because zwift is becoming zwiftbox
👍👍
Being able to ride using a male, female or different build type profile etc is a great option, we are able to select what we like so it becomes a free choice just like other games. Some great other updates too its good to see Zwift developing things further, it may have taken time but at least its happening
When we get facial upload?
Note say "Coming in February!"... but... I suspect it could be any time.
I'd like them to pump out more updates on the Zwift Running side. It's too cycling centric.
Any news on when the auto-gear-change functionality from the Zwift One Hub could be available on the Wahoo Kickr Core trainer?
Nothing yet. It can’t be far off I wouldn’t think.
Do you have any news about new bikes or wheels? Would love to see some newmen wheels or megamo bikes.
Soon I hope.
#pelotonsux
Where is the Zwift Tri Academy?
They cancelled Tri and Run academies this year.
With the new avatars, at least on Zwift, no one knows if you are a dog.
Or a llama. 🦙
Like the sound of Zwift Games, let’s hope it’s age categorised?!….
Almost no events in Zwift are age categorized
Why? I want to compete against people with similar fitness and performance, their age is irrelevant in a virtual world.
Hi GP Lama , please help me if you can .
I have always run my Zwift from my Samsung S23 via a HDMI cable to my Samsung TV . My phone did an update recently and now when I select full screen , my Zwift is "stretched and I can't access routes or plans . Not sure if there is a fix . ? Smart View is not compatible between my phone ( new , ) and older TV .
One for Zwift support
Passing on one solution from the Zwift forum regarding Dex support after a recent Android update: "I had same problem, but could by-pass it in samsung setups: advanced features > labs > multi window for all apps. After that Zwift opened directly full screen mode and resolution was good." Topic name is "Android 14 / Samsung Dex"
So you can effectively spoof your ride weight by setting your ride weight to 40kg but then using a 100kg avatar? This sounds like a terrible idea - being able to see super-skinny avatars was a useful clue that someone was potentially weight doping. I’m not sure that masking that is a good idea. Weight doping is a big enough problem already and this only seems to make the problem worse.
I can’t see a need for it. If you go outside people can see your real size every single day, I don’t understand what hiding that in-game is meant to achieve if some kind of body weight phobia is the issue they’re trying to address.
I think the gender representation is ok. But many times you see how an avatar is looking to understand if you against a climber or a powerhouse, and you act differently in race situations. Maybe they should forbid this option in real races
That's assuming that everyone puts their real weight and height on Zwift.
Do you really though or are you just thinking up problems? With the way the perspective works in a 2d game it’s actually very difficult to assess much from avatar size. I’ve successfully done a lot of races at high levels and I’ve never used avatar size as useful race information.
I have mixed feelings on it too - at least that was some potential information, but, with the avartar being completely detached from anything real, there is none - one could as well see cubes and spheres moving on the road... it removes a bit of realism from it I would say.
@@shaylorcyclingwahoolecol8313I understand you don't take advantage of this information. But that certainly shouldn't encourage you to conclude the OP doesn't. It actually can be helpful info. Especially on significant uphill and downhill segments where rider weight can have a pretty big in-game influence.
Zwift should incoporate a super mario kart-like gaming experience mode where you put banana skins out etc. in a race. Seriously missing a trick if they don't make a mode like that.
Would you please tell us about the noise level with the turbo trainers.
Since about 2018-19 most smart trainers make less noise than the cooling fans you need to use while riding on them.
I identify as a 🦖 and request the corresponding avatar
Ahhhhh, time for the classic G.I.R.L.
Guy In Real Life
Could totally see the March thing being something like a battle/season pass we see in so many games
I just hope they don't break anything with the Dec 23 update ;)
1/2 XP bug for the holidays! Yay! 😉🤣
I no longer use Zwift moved over to Rouvy what a difference fantastic
Ree peets is repreats for Australian or Enlish viewers.
Repeats.
Wonder if they will ever get rid of the silly height based linear cda penalty. Making cda assumptions based on height when the actual overarching consideration is position (which zwift can never know) is idiotic.
Just left Zwift and gone to Rouvy.
What a breath of fresh air,thousands of miles and hundreds of real routes.
Zwift has turned into something for children with these cheap rainbow climbs,no investment in graphics and new worlds/roads worth a mention in years.
Goodbye
virtual group rides don't count, #raphaFestive500
Definitely 'ROOT', or it would be spelt 'ROUT' 🤣
Don’t say it both ways just talk Australian and say route as root
🤣 I say both and still get called out. I’ll just start saying “path”
