Zwift HQ has asked us to share the word about an upcoming service outage which will affect access to the game and other Zwift services on all devices.
According to ZHQ, this is being done “in order to upgrade our system performance and stability, ensuring even greater service and reliability for our Zwift community!” It appears to be a major database migration, as impacted services include anything requiring a login such as the game itself, Zwift Companion, and Zwift.com, including the forums.
ZHQ is planning a 4-hour maintenance window for this outage to be safe, but our sources tell us there’s a very good chance service could be restored within 1.5-2 hours. Best not to plan an important ride during the maintenance window, though!
