Peak Zwift records are being broken every few days lately. Last Tuesday we hit a new high of 24,341, then early this morning it seemed all of Europe showed up to ride together as we hit a new high of 28,299!
The peak was reached right around 10am UK time, when astute Zwifter Jon Wakefield snapped this Zwift Companion shot with the highest number seen on the day.
Will it go higher? We think so. We think we’ll burst through the 30k barrier this week, and the next line of interest after that would be 30,024, which would double the Peak Zwift we set back in January 2020.
Stay healthy, take care of one another, and Ride On!
Update: Zwift Chris Rudallruds shared a screenshot showing 28,305 riders online, so that’s the official high water mark as far as we know. (Zwift has chosen not to confirm peak numbers during this time.)

Herzlichen Glückwunsch,
konnte aber Zwift in der letzten Woche ca. 17:00 Uhr MEZ 3 mal nicht nutzen. Schade.
Viele Grüße Torsten
We’ve seen several reports from Germans who haven’t been able to get on. Quite possibly it’s not a problem on Zwift’s side, but something having to do with the Internet connection between German users and Zwift’s servers.
But I’m not Zwift support, so hard to say!

Hi Eric
Do you know how many people are paid up player’s on Zwift, ie what is the max number of people that could be on if everyone was on at the same time?

Loved the prehistoric run, and that sooooo many people are together during this crazy time in history!
I didn’t run, but past many dinosaurs on my ride. That was awesome
This morning (European time) we were 21k only in Watopia! Using AppleTv, everything seemed ok (only few fps drops).
I had more than a few fps drops unfortunately. But still able to do an hour ride.
At nearly double the January peak zwift, I’m hoping they make a quick fire change to add a 3rd world option or open them all up. Even watopia is overcrowded at peak times now!
Not sure, but I think they close (or not keep all constantly open) worlds so that they can make modifications on them. Curious to know if this is true.
More importantly, do they have the server hardware to handle the increased volume?
Today was the first time since the pandemic began that I felt Zwift was laggy.
We had about 20k just on Watopia, and it became a bit laggy. Down to 15k and the lag had gone. I think we are testing here the current limits of Zwift.
Maybe, but could also be either upload/download speeds internet traffic at that time. Curious to know how the local internet providers are dealing with the increased band-width volume from people working from home and watching more app-driven TV / accessing similar programs to Zwift.
Zwift has trouble coping with demand. Today first time I have experienced dropouts as did others on ride. Please upgrade capacity quickly.
According to the Zwiftcast, the team at Zwift have tested servers to handle 50,000 users online at once. I had no issues with 20,000 online from my end. We shall see!
It’s keeping me sain. But zwift I think can’t keep up with demand . I done a stage 5 and completed the event but it didn’t record it . I was zwifting with my friend , was a head of him and he told me I appeared from no where in his group . So I couldn’t record that event . Also I’m seeing bikes and no riders or just a helmet .

My Zwift was lagging behind on Sunday. I guess that’s a side effect of having so many people at the same time on the platform.
28,981 on Zwift right now and climbing!
29179
I grabbed a shot at 29,182 this morning. The sky is the limit!
And here’s another high; 28,503 yesterday around 6pm UK time!
Oops! Already been beaten today. I did notice that the screen wasn’t the right colour, but thought that it might be deliberate to match the April Fool colours!
What’s wrong with Zwift today I tried twice to complete Stage 1 of Haute Route and finally gave up – completing 2 laps of the Volcano, which crashed also after trying to save to STAVA it’s fine as there are more important things in the world.
30k broken!
