Real-Time Server Status Notifications Feature Request

General Discussion

Hi Zwift Team & Community,

One of the challenges many of us face is starting a ride or race only to encounter unexpected server issues or disconnections. At the moment, it’s difficult to know if a problem is on our end (network, hardware, ISP) or if it’s a Zwift server-side issue.

I’d like to propose a real-time server status notification system that could:

  1. In-App Alerts: Notify riders of current server issues before starting or during a session.

  2. Dashboard/Website Updates: A live status page with real-time information on server health, latency, and outages.

  3. Push Notifications: Mobile notifications or emails for subscribers when there are known outages or maintenance windows.

  4. Regional Indicators: Show if the issue is specific to EU/US/Asia servers so users know what to expect.

  5. Integration with Events: If a scheduled race is likely to be impacted, display an alert before entry.

This would greatly improve <a href="https://www.lenovo.com/jp/ja/servers-storage/servers/">server</a> related user experience by reducing confusion, saving time, and helping Zwifters troubleshoot more effectively.

What does the community think? Would a system like this make your Zwift experience smoother?

Thanks for considering this feature request!

Hi @harry_cmary

Yes. It’s status.zwift.com

Just be aware that status.zwift.com may not be updated timely or at all. If it doesn’t reveal a known problem, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem.
