Ever since Zwift released its Makuri Islands “Yumezi” map in May Zwifters have been asking, “When can we do Meetups on the new map?”
Initial responses from Zwift on social media posts seemed to indicate that Meetup functionality wasn’t planned until the fall, which seemed like an oddly long delay. Happily, according to a new Zwift forum post they have opted to roll out Makuri Islands Meetup functionality beginning Monday, June 28th!
Additionally, the post indicates that event organizers will be able to select Yumezi routes for their events beginning on this same date. Until now, Yumezi-based group rides and races have been few and far between. But we expect that will change quickly!
Both Meetups and event editing are accomplished via the Companion app, so it would make sense for both features to be updated simultaneously.
Creating a Meetup
Creating a Meetup is easy, via Zwift’s Companion app (available for iOS and Android).
