VALORANT's Replay feature allows you to watch and analyze your past games. As of September 16, 2025, it's available globally in all regions except China.
How do I find & watch a replay?
After you finish playing your match, look for the "Download" button in the upper-left corner of the post-game screen. You can also download the replay directly from your match history.
Once the replay is downloaded, the icon changes from "Download" to "Play". Click it to launch. Replays can only be played directly from the client.
How long do Replays last?
Replays are only available for the duration of a patch cycle and expire once the game is updated. For instance, if you played a match on patch 11.06, you can watch that replay until patch 11.07 is released.
Additionally, they got deleted after 21 days.
Why can't I watch replays from previous patches?
Since some of the fundamental mechanics behind VALORANT can and often do change in small ways with each patch, old replays simply aren't compatible with different, newer versions of the game.
Can I watch replays on Console?
Not yet! They will be available on Console starting from Patch 11.10.
Can I share replays with friends or upload them?
No—replays are saved locally on your PC and can’t be viewed on other clients or platforms.
Is the in-game chat included on the replay?
Nope, replays only show gameplay.
What matches are eligible for replays?
Replays are available for games played in Unrated, Competitive, Premier modes.
Will replays work for Custom games?
Nope, Custom matches don't support replays at the moment, since there are many ways to set them up.
I encountered bad behavior/trolling while playing. Can I send the replay to Player Support as a report?
No need! If you come across trolling, intentional feeding, or bad behavior, just report it after the game as usual. Our behavioral systems will handle it from there!
Additional Pro Tips
Once you're in the replay, look for a panel in the middle with navigation options to scrub through the footage. The Navigation Bar includes features such as play/stop, forward/backward by 5 seconds, adjusting playback speed, and even highlights of your amazing headshots!
You can customize what is visible on the timeline by clicking the gear icon on the right side of the Navigation Bar.
