In principle Zwift on an Xbox has the bonus of being able to run on a PC as well via the Xbox Console.  
In Practice, if as Steve says above it’s Direct X only then no, as more platforms only slows development down (see also Linux) and it’s can feel slow enough at times in the last couple of years

But how can optical Development been slow down any more? Have you seen actual vraphic engines like Unreal on any hardware (from iOS to High End)?! Everything looks nicer than Zwift.

I believe it is time to make a big change and choose one of the big gaming engines (whichs dev kits make it ultra easy to adapt to mobile as well as home systems) and maybe release Zwift for more platforms.

Yes the conversion takes a lot of ressources one time but for a plenty od years it makes it easier to imolement improvements.

For examole adding raytracing is not a big thing if your game runs already in the DirectX Universe. Just google Raytracing Examoles and Imagine Neo…

It would be great. We would have a very good experience with next gen consoles and without having to buy other devices such as an apple TV…  
Please development make it happen!

Would absolutely cause me to buy another PS5. They have three times the Bluetooth connections as my Apple TV.

It’s been 3 years since this was suggested.

I’m reasonably confident in saying it’s never gonna happen.

I can’t understand that there isn’t Zwift for PS5. Is it so difficult to offer customers best expirience? How can apple tv or phone compete with hardware which is optimized for games in 4K and raytracing?

Probably because the market share for people wanting to run Zwift on a PlayStation is so small as to make it economically unviable.  
Along with Linux, Xbox etc…

Ha, don’t let that minor issue prevent asking Zwift to run on a games console Mike. 😂

I have an amazing idea.  
Can thr zwift team make the app to run on play station 5 ? This would be a great plus zwift app as the other indoor cycling competitors doesn’t have this option. And also for the indoor rider there would not be a need of buying an expensive pc to run the app at full graphics.

If zwift do this upgrade i demand a lifetime zwift subscription as a gift for my great idea !

All you out there you can thank me later.

Thanks

You are definitely the first person to have ever thought of this and suggested it. If it does become possible in the future it will all be down to you.

ps - a PlayStation costs far more than a PC that would run zwift very well.

PS5 is far far better option that PC will ever be. PC which can run K4 120 fps + 4K monitor much more expensive than PS5.

But the market share for PS5 is tiny compared to other platforms.

Compared to 1.4 billion Windows Users…  
3.5 billion Android users  
1.35 billion iOS users

And your Apple TV story is quoting numbers from 2010.

- 232 million iPhones, 61 million iPads and 26 million Mac and MacBook units were sold in 2022  
Apple TV+ has over 75 million

So sorry PS5 doesn’t make sense for Zwift…

It could be used on X-Box if the application was ported to an UWP app. Are the majority of Zwift users on Apple’s ecosystem?
