Replays

Replays^[1] are a feature in VALORANT introduced in patch v11.06. Replays were designed as a tool to show a complete view of your recent matches so that you can better understand what happened during a moment, round, or game.

Within a Replay file, you will be able to:
- Observe the game from all 10 players’ first-person perspectives.
- Enable/disable friendly/enemy player outlines, AKA “wall hacks”
- Enable/disable the ability to follow projectiles like Sova Recon Dart.
- Observe the game with a third-person free observer cam
- Fast-forward, slow down, and pause the game. (Speeds: .1x, .25x, .5x, 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x) • Skip to each round of the game.
- Time-jump to anywhere in the game.
- You’ll also see small icons on the timeline to signify where kills, deaths, and ultimate ability usage took place.
