Hey Zwifters, there is a new game update available which includes a number of improvements and fixes.
The update is available for download now for PC and Mac. The Android and iOS/Apple TV versions should appear in the app store soon.
If you are planning to join an event on your next Zwift session, please make sure you log in a few minutes early to download the update to get access to all the latest features.
Hide Display Mode
- Ever wanted to experience Zwift worlds in their most natural state? Get more immersed into the sights and sounds of the game, without the display? Well now you can with the simple press of a button in game, and on in Zwift Companion.
- Hide Display Mode can be activated in most situations in Zwift, with a few exceptions. Zwifters cannot Hide the Display in workout mode (solo or group) or turn the display ON for âHide the Displayâ event types.
- To Hide the Display, simply press the H key if your keyboard is nearby, or use the action bar in Zwift Companion or in game and tap the new Hide Display button.
