Zwift just dropped their latest update including a bunch of different things. They rolled out a much wanted feature from the community, specifically the badge hunters out there. The new function now allows you to see the actual distance on the route, including the lead in, which can be pretty annoying for a lot of riders, especially the racers. The new function will also show which badges you already have, and which one you don’t. There were also a lot of bug fixes, here is the list from the forums post. Also a link to the forums post here:https://forums.zwift.com/t/game-update-june-15th-2021/551297/3 .This post is currently being updated with more information and images. Here are some images of the new content that was included in this update. Zwift is currently also working on adding another function that will allow riders to see the route that they are doing the how much is left in the lead in and the route! They have said that it is going to be included in an upcoming release! Here is the list of minor bug fixes and improvements from the Zwift Forums post. I also have some of my thoughts on this recent update down below! Shane Miller has also recently noted that Zwift will be allowing meetups in Yumezi starting on the 28th of June, once the OVS series is finished. That is a much better time than the previously timeline, fall.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
- Improved steering when drafting in a large group to make it easier to assimilate into the pack and hold a draft.

[…] Zwift introduced a much wanted badge hunting feature that would allow you to see which routes you have completed and which routes you haven’t completed from the route selection screen. Zwift would also later add a route progress bar to indicate how much of the route you have remaining. Zwift also gave the ability to create meet ups in Yumezi. Kickr bike steering was also introduced, which was broken that same day. It was fixed in a quick patch around a week later.
