I already did, used ChatGPT to summarize and rank everything, then sent it to Zwift… no promises they will act on anything…
Here’s a rough “Top 10 Wishlist Features / Changes” for Zwift derived from the 2026-wishlist thread (and related community-wish threads). I ranked them by how frequently they were brought up or how many different users echoed similar ideas.
Top 10 Zwift Wishlist (Community-Ranked)
1 Customizable / Cleaner HUD & Ability to Disable Visual Clutter Many users in the thread asked explicitly for an “off switch” for the new icons/emoticons/power-up visuals, and for a modernized HUD (nearby riders panel, map overlay, segment info, clean layout). (Zwift Forums)
2 Better Search & Organization for Workouts, Events, Rides (In-game & Companion App) Repeated calls for improved in-game / companion-app search tools so riders can more easily find workouts or events. (Zwift Forums)
3 More & Better Race Types / Event Types (e.g. elimination races, points races, varied formats beyond standard races) Several responses asked for more varied race modes, not just the existing standard formats. (Zwift Forums)
4 Stronger Anti-Cheat / Fairness Measures (better policing of height/weight manipulation, suspect power data) Many community members expressed frustration with users gaming character stats (height/weight) or producing unrealistic power-to-weight ratios — calling for limits or removal from leaderboards/races. (Zwift Forums)
5 Expanded Route / Terrain Variety — More Climbs, Real-World Style Routes, Better Maps/Routes Users want more terrain variety: more mountain climbs, longer or more interesting routes, not just repeated flat-ish circuits. (Zwift Forums)
6 More & Better Social / Community Features: Chat, Post-Ride Comments, Notifications, Club Tools Some asked for improved social functionality — easier post-ride chat or comment notifications, club-related features, social interaction enhancements. (Zwift Forums)
7 More Customization / Flexibility for Events & Group Rides (for organizers): custom routes, customizable event settings, more event-creation tools Among suggestions: ability for event creators to pick custom routes, adjust event parameters, better event-management tools overall. (Zwift Forums)
8 More Saveable Loadouts, Garage / Loadout Profiles (bike / wheel / kit presets for quick changes) Riders want easier switching of bike/wheel/kit configurations — particularly useful when you have TT, climbing, aero setups. (Zwift Forums)
9 Better Course Info: Elevation/Gradient Graphs, Route Preview, More Transparent Segment Data Many note that gradient / elevation profile info is difficult to use: they want the course gradient graph, better elevation previews, more visible route/map info. (Zwift Forums)
10 Expanded Modalities / Features — e.g. support for rowing, more varied activity types, ghost riders / “carrot ghosts” / personal pacing tools Some users suggested adding other modalities beyond cycling (e.g. rowing), or features like ghost riders (for pacing), more variety in training tools. (Zwift Forums)
Additional Observations & Notes on Ranking
-
The top-ranked items (HUD customization, better search, race/event variety, fairness measures) reflect both frequent mentions in the 2026-wishlist thread and recurring interest across older wishlist threads — suggesting these are persistent community-wide desires, not just fleeting complaints.
-
Some items — like “garage / preset loadouts” or “custom routes for events” — were less frequent but still appeared in multiple threads, especially among power users or event organizers.
-
A few ideas — like adding entirely new sports modalities (e.g. rowing), or very niche features (alternate bikes/wheel presets) — show up less often overall; thus they end up lower in the ranking even if some users feel strongly about them.
