The new Zwift Play controllers will help you feel less guilty about sitting on your butt and playing video games - because you're training!
If you’re a rider that trains and races primarily inside, you want to stop what you’re doing — things are about to get interesting. Zwift’s newest offering to the indoor world, Zwift Play, has just dropped, and along with it, ease of use for all indoor riders. Zwift Play is the first game controller designed specifically for bike riding. The new controller lets users master their gaming and riding experience without leaving the bike.
The pads work very much like game controllers you’d find on an older Playstation, Nintendo, etc. On the left-hand side, there is a directional pad. This movement pad allows for navigation of game menus and enables Zwifters to select turns or perform U-Turns while exploring Zwift’s virtual worlds. On the right-hand controller, the buttons are laid out similarly but are not connected in the center. This separate yet together diamond shape design is easily navigable without looking down, so you don’t miss out on the action . The right-hand controller buttons allow riders to make selections in menus when stationary. When riding, the buttons act as shortcuts to give Ride Ons, unleash PowerUps, skip workout blocks, teleport to Pacer Groups, and more.
If you’re an indoor rider using Zwift for most rides, expect to see new game experiences launched over the coming months. So be on the lookout for experience changes and some home screen updates.During this beta testing phase, Zwift Play Controllers will be available for a limited time at a discounted price of $99//£99//€99. The planned MSRP will be $149//£149//€149.
Zwift Play is available for purchase in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union
