Game Update v 1.106 [January 2026]

Hello Zwifterrs,

We’ve begun phased rollout of game version 1.106 to macOS / WIndows / Android devices.
Phased rollout to iOS and tvOS begins tomorrow.

  • The Empire Elevation route in New York is now available for free rides and meet-ups. Go get that badge!

  • Minor refinements to draft indicator behavior.

  • New icons in the Pairing Screen show how devices are connected. See this thread for details.

  • Fixed an issue that could make workout arch pulses difficult to see.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause Tour de Zwift reward previews to display incorrectly when a handcycle is equipped.

  • Improved readability of bike frame description text in the Garage.

  • Various visual improvements in Richmond and New York.

  • Fixed an issue that could potentially cause cycling socks to be at their minimum height, or missing. Seems we caught the triathlon bug.

  • Apple TV: Fixed a crash that could potentially occur in the Pairing screen.

  • Windows: Fixed a crash that could potentially occur when saving or discarding an activity.

  • Introducing Sophia! Our 10th RoboPacer rides at 0.8 w/kg, ideal for new and lower-FTP Zwifters.

  • Expanded the route rotation for RoboPacers to include more pacer-friendly routes from our recent map expansions.

UPDATE January 28

  • Phased rollout continues to Windows / macOS / Android / iOS.
  • Phased rollout to iOS/tvOS begins today.

UPDATE January 29

  • Phased rollout is complete to all OS platforms.

Do you have questions or issues to report? Let us know below.

Big fan of the RoboPacer route rotation changes!

On a related note, when an event series like Tour de Zwift is going on, it would be great if the secondary world(s) for the RoboPacers could align with the world(s) that the week’s events are being held on. For example, this week the TdZ events are all in London, but not until Sunday are the RoboPacers going to be scheduled in London. I frequently join a RoboPacer after finishing an event ride, either to extend my workout or cool down, and it’s much more convenient to keep the same activity going (rather than have to end the activity and start a new one with a RoboPacer in a different world).

Hi everyone. Please update at your earliest convenience.

AppleTV user here on the latest update.

Emojis are not displaying in the in game chat for the event I’m riding, but I can see them on the Companion App. Was fine before the update.

@hampsta

Hi - would you have happen to have screen captures from the most recent ride stored in your iPhone’s Pictures folder? I’m hoping one of them may have captured a chat where the emoji was not displaying.

Q1: by “not displaying” do you mean the chat bubble was empty, or did it show junk characters?
Q2: are you talking about chat from Riders Nearby, or from a Ride Leader? If Ride Leader - did you see that person’s name, or did it say generically “Ride Leader?”

No pics unfortunately, hope the following helps.

1 - missing, not junk

2 - ‘Ride Leader’ only displaying. Emojis missing from all riders including the ride leaders.

Empire Elevation route in New York isn’t showing up in the Companion App yet

Can we please have an option to turn those Personalized Recommendations off. I have no use for that.

Zwift should probably know by now that a lot of the things they come up with arent loved by everyone. Why not provide us with an option to turn it off when we will never use it, and make everyone happy and avoid negative comments everywhere.

I was able to select Empire Elevation after starting a workout and then chose it as the route.

Great - thanks Dan.

Does companion become affected as well? I wonder if my bridging issues have been addressed as well. It has been BRUTAL pairing with Apple TV lately. When there is an update and I run Apple TV, I don’t need to do anything.. correct? It updates in its own?

I believe there is a setting on Apple TV to allow automatic updates, make sure that is turned on.

Is the core sensor integration fixed?

@shooj Still resistance issues here, and since 1.102 version..

I do not like the “Next Up” feature. Your AI has no idea what I’m interested in doing on a daily basis. It’s nosy and takes up prime display space.

So logical. Only makes sense, doesn’t it?
