Online fitness platform, Zwift, has launched the first game controllers designed specifically for its virtual cycling workouts. Called Zwift Play, the controllers allow riders to take full control of their experience and remove the need for using touch-screen or external keyboards.
Zwift Play controllers can be attached to a bike's handlebars using silicone straps, making them quick to fit or remove.
Once mounted, the controllers will give "Zwifters" complete control. A directional pad on the left controller, allows for seamless navigation of game menus and also enables Zwifters to select turns or U-Turn while exploring Zwift’s virtual worlds.
Shortcut buttons placed on the right controller are laid out in a familiar configuration allowing Zwifters to keep their eyes on the road.
Buttons allow riders to make selections in menus and, when riding, also act as shortcuts to give Ride Ons, deploy PowerUps, skip workout blocks, teleport to Pacer Groups, and more. Both controllers also feature paddles that deliver steering and braking functionality.
"The Zwift Play controllers will be launching alongside a new Beta Zwift Play Game Experience," Zwift said.
"The first of these new experiences is the renewed Repack Rush, which showcases some of the new functionality of the new game controllers, testing Zwifters on a twisting course where they need to dodge braking pads, snag boost pads and collect time bonuses to set a time.
"Repack Rush is a great personal challenge when you want to simply escape and have a little extra fun on the bike."
