About

Gruvetto is an online multiplayer cycling game that runs in the browser, built by a solo developer and published by the Belgian company technine SRL. You open a room, pick a mode and a track and share its four-letter code; friends join from their own trainers or just watch and cheer, and bots at your level fill the bunch up to 50 riders, with drafting. There are six modes: a Grand Prix with items, elimination, time trial, team time trial, a ghost race against your best run and a free group ride, plus weekly events and stage tours with jerseys and a general classification. Climbs and sprints are timed segments with leaderboards, and results are checked against the ride's own power data. For training, structured workouts run in ERG mode, .zwo workouts can be imported, your FTP updates itself from your rides, and rides upload to Strava. A workshop lets players build and share their own tracks, modes and workouts. It works with any Bluetooth smart trainer or power meter, a classic trainer with a speed sensor (power estimated), heart-rate monitors and Zwift Ride controllers for steering and items; a phone paired by code or a PlayStation or Xbox gamepad works as a remote. Needs Chrome or Edge on a computer, since Safari and Firefox lack Web Bluetooth; nothing to install. Free, with no subscription; an account keeps your progress and leaderboard places. In English and French.
