1. Zwift works on most newer PCs and Macs, most iPhones and iPads, as well as Apple TVs that are 4th gen or later. Many Android tablets and phones also work well.
2. Please remember that the technical specifications are minimums. So, as a rule of thumb, the more powerful your device is, the better your Zwift experience will be.
3. Next up: computers, and more specifically, RAM and hard drives.
4. RAM is memory that stores data. You’ll need a minimum of 4 gigabytes. Again, that’s just a minimum. For Zwift, machines with eight gigs or more or more are ideal.
5. Next: drive space. As you probably know, the hard drive stores files. To run Zwift, you need at least four gigs of free space.
6. Here’s a pro tip: Use your personal home computer, if you have one that’s adequate. Work machines often have limited permissions that prevent Zwift from working properly.
7. Phones and tablets are also great options. For the most up-to-date list of approved devices, go to zwift.com/hardware.
8. If you need hardware, check out Zwift.com/shop — we have all the gear you need.
9. Happy Zwifting!

    Can you please set this up on PlayStation 4??? That would make life sooo much easier. Cheers

    I just tried ‘backslash’ and thankfully it does convert automatically to forward slash.

    VR headsets would be better

    Can we please get an actual IT person (not a marketing person) to explain on how configure Zwift to run more efficently? I have a gaming PC and it still uses too much CPU and GPU resources. Even in the start screen where it does nothing – CPU skyrockets. I play other 3D games and none of them demand so much CPU. Please hire better game developers to make game run efficiently. Thanks.

    When she told me to hang in there cause tech specs were coming, I didn’t think I would be told my device needs ram and hdd space…. Like duh, what part of this video helps? none! Can we get a Roku app or something? Apple products suck. Having to pay monthly, buy a computer, a bike, and an expensive trainer just to ride in a cartoon? Need to make this more obtainable for more people to survive.

    Hello! Android TV? compatible?



  9. Adam on January 3, 2021 at 1:15 am

    Why does Nvidia Shield TV, the most powerful android TV box on the market, not support Zwift?



  10. J Z on January 3, 2021 at 1:16 am

    This may not be the correct troubleshooting query…. But, I cannot get into the software launch screen (tried on 2 computers). Zwift installed and updated then when it goes to run the program there is only a blank white window with no login screen ever appearing. Anyone help???

    For the Xbox would also be nice since each household has a Xbox or PlayStation



  12. Troy Collett on January 3, 2021 at 1:22 am

    And make sure your iOS runs wifi too



  13. Микола Верига on January 3, 2021 at 1:22 am

    This is shit. It doesn’t work on Android. It crushed every 20minutes
