Epic Games offers a "Replays" feature that allows you to review, save, and share the Fortnite game highlights for various purposes. However, some of you may not know how to set and access the Fortnite Replays feature.
No worries, though. This post shares a detailed guide to help set the Fortnite Replays settings and access and save the Fortnite replays. You can also find an easy solution to save the Fortnite replays in video format for convenient playback, editing, and sharing.
Keep reading for additional details.
The Fortnite Replays feature is a powerful tool that allows players to replay past games. When viewing the replay, it can change the camera and camera angles, zoom in/out, follow a specific player or team, etc. If you want to watch the game replays for strategic analysis, content creation, or sharing memorable moments, follow the guide below to learn how to watch and save replays on Fortnite.
🔎 Section 1. How to Set Replays Feature
Step 1. Go to the "Creative Hub" or "Creative Island" from the Fortnite lobby. Click the Settings (gear) icon and select "Settings".
Step 2. Switch to the second "Game" tab and scroll down to "Replays". Make sure the "Record Replays" option is "On".
You can also turn on the replay option for other game modes, such as "Record Large Team Replays" for large team mode, "Record Creative Replays" for creative mode, etc. based on your needs.
Step 3. Save the above changes and go back to the lobby.
🔎 Section 2. How to Access and View Fortnite Replays
Step 1. Switch to the "Career" tab at the top of the Fortnite lobby screen.
Step 2. Click the "Replays" button at the bottom of the screen. Then, it will show you a list of replays from your recent gameplay.
Step 3. Select a replay, and you can choose "Play" > "Confirm" to access the replay viewer.
The Replays viewer offers many playback controls for you to play, stop, rewind, skip the replay, adjust the replay speed, choose camera type, and more during the playback.
Besides playing replays, it also offers the options to "Delete" (remove replays from your local drive), "Rename and save" (save the replays to your local drive), and "Open Replay Folder" (open the folder where the replays are stored on your local drive).
Step 4. After viewing the desired replay, you can press "Esc" and then click the exit arrow at the bottom left of the screen to exit the Replays tab.
🎯 Notices:
❗ The Replays feature is not available in all game modes. For example, some limited-time modes or events don't support this feature.
❗ The Replays feature is only available for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. If you're playing Fortnite on your Switch, you'd better record the gameplay for reviewing.
❗ It can only play the replays in the current version of Fortnite. After a new update, the old replays will be invalid to playback, unless they were saved to your local drive. Therefore, you'd better save the important game replays for backup.
❗ It only supports 10 replays on PlayStation and Xbox but doesn't limit the replay amounts on PC.
❗ The saved replays are in the .replay extension, which is not a video type and can only be opened with the Fortnite replays viewer. If you want to share with friends or upload the Fortnite replays to your channels, you may need to capture the replay with screen-recording software.
From the above, you can see that though Fortnite offers a built-in replay feature for you to watch and save your Fortnite replays, it won't save your replays in video format, keep your replays permanently, and isn't available for all game modes.
In this case, you can try a screen recorder tool to record and save all Fortnite replays permanently for viewing, editing, sharing, and more.
