• 14 Nov 2026Zwift: New Training & Community Racing API Partnership Requests On Hold [Autumn 2026 -

  Hello folks,

  Rowdy here from Zwift’s Community Support team. With so many great new API partnerships getting started over this summer and early autumn, I’m afraid our queue for API partnership requests is currently at capacity and we will not be able to add any new API partners at this time.

  Partnership integrations that are already underway will continue, so we’ll still see some partnerships announced over the winter. However, any prospective partner requests to integrate with Zwift’s Training or Community Racing APIs that we’ve received since October 1 will not be able to start onboarding until next year.

  We anticipate returning to integration in spring 2027. I don’t have an exact date to provide at this time, but you can reach out to zwift-link@zwift.com in March 2027 for more information. If we are able to resume API integrations sooner, I will update this thread accordingly.

• 4 Nov 2026Zwift 1.125.0

  Watt Lock can now be assigned to the customizable drop bar buttons on the Zwift Ride.
  Watt Lock now restores your previous gear when disengaged.
  Locked campaign stages now show their start times.
  In the event of a game crash, after re-opening Zwift, a recovery prompt will show allowing Zwifters to publish their interrupted activity to all of their connected third-party platforms. This feature is currently in effect for rides greater than 2 km and at least 10 minutes in length.
  Fixed an issue that could cause some activities in Watopia from appearing in the activity feed or in 3rd-party services.
  Fixed an issue that could cause mini-map route progress to not update for the Volcano Circuit or Volcano Circuit CCW routes in Watopia.
  Fixed a potential crash that could occur when using Garmin HRM 200 and HRM 600 heart rate monitors

• 3 Nov 2026Preload Zwift Video Routes [Game 1.125]

  Starting with game update v 1.125, we are introducing 2 new Zwift Video settings:

  Pre-download Videos

  Clear Video Downloads

  With Pre-download Video, the full route video is downloaded ahead of your ride. Pre-downloading videos is recommended if you have lower bandwidth and frequently see the Orange Road experience, however this setting does increase the upfront download time and increases the space requirement to use Zwift Video.

  Clear Video Downloads will delete all Zwift Video files from your harddrive to free up storage space.

  Phased rollout of game version 1.125 has begun. Please update when it is available to your computer.

• 3 Nov 2026Zwift: Watt Lock Enhancements [November 2026]

  We’ve heard the feedback that being dropped into default Virtual Gear 8 after you turn off Watt Lock is too low a gear. We’ll now return you to your last pre-lock gear for a potentially smoother transition back to SIM mode.

  For Zwift Ride users: the bottom Drop Buttons are user-configurable to toggle Watt Lock on or off in the Game settings > Hardware tab.

  Other assignable functions trigger Powerups, Rideon Bombs, or Splits.

  Note: your Ride controllers must be paired for this setting to appear in the Hardware tab.
