We’re pleased to share that ROUVY has officially been acquired by Zwift.
This marks an important step for our community and reflects the value we’ve built together with riders around the world. Over the years, ROUVY has grown into a strong and trusted platform for cyclists worldwide, and Zwift recognizes that value.
| ROUVY stays ROUVY. We will continue to operate as a standalone app and brand, with everything you know and love remaining in place. |
What this means for ROUVY users
-
No changes to your experience.
You can keep riding exactly as you do today. Your favorite routes, features, and overall experience remain unchanged.
-
Your subscription stays the same.
There’s nothing you need to update or change. Your current ROUVY subscription remains active as is, including Loyalty program discounts and pausing. There are no plans for any ROUVY and Zwift subscription bundles.
-
ROUVY remains independent.
ROUVY continues as a standalone platform with its own roadmap, team, and leadership.
Petr Samek remains CEO, and the ROUVY team stays in place.
Both ROUVY and Zwift will continue to operate independent roadmaps, including their own subscription models.
-
Real routes stay at the core.
We remain focused on what defines ROUVY: realistic riding on real-world routes, helping you train, explore, and achieve your cycling goals year-round.
Zwift hardware compatibility
Zwift Click, Zwift Ride and Zwift Play all work with ROUVY. You can use them for virtual shifting, and the models with extra buttons for moving through menus and triggering ride actions.
Zwift Play needs firmware 2.0.1 or later, which you update in the Zwift Companion App. A remote on older firmware is not recognized, so update it first if it does not show up in the list. On Zwift Play, the plus and minus buttons are the ones used for shifting.
Zwift Click V1 has shift buttons only, while V2 adds a D-pad and action buttons. How to connect each device, and what every button does, is covered in Remote controllers and control mapping. For virtual shifting itself, see Virtual Shifting.
If something does not work as expected, please let us know using this form.

Update your ROUVY app first Zwift hardware support depends on which version of the ROUVY app you are running. Update to the latest version before pairing a Zwift remote: our Changelog shows what each release brought. |
What about Zwift?
ROUVY and Zwift will continue to operate as separate platforms.
Each platform has its own subscription and product roadmap.
This means:
- No merging of apps.
- No combined subscriptions at this time.
- No changes required from you.
If you ride on both, you can connect the two accounts so your activities count towards your progress on each platform. Connecting is optional and is explained in ROUVY and Zwift.
Why this matters
This step allows us to stay focused on what matters most: you, the rider.
By working together with Zwift, we can:
- continue improving the ROUVY experience,
- better connect indoor and outdoor cycling,
- deliver more value long term.
Most importantly, this is a continuation of what we’ve built together.
With Zwift’s support and shared vision, we’re in a stronger position to keep improving ROUVY while staying true to what makes it unique.
