One thing to note for console (I can only vouch personally for Xbox as it's what I play on for console), is that saved replays aren't permanent either. From what I've read they are only good until the next update. At which point, Xbox will prompt you to delete older "corrupted" saved replays. Basically, after the update, the engine is now different than the one your recorded replay was using, hence it can no longer play it.

So, if you are thinking a saved replay is permanent, it is not and it varies based on when the next update will be released. So, if you want them more permanently saved, do an actual recording as Toby suggests.

Also, the Xbox save replay feature is pretty inconsistent. It wouldn't save any of my replays for like a week. And then today, all of a sudden, it's working again. Just remember to hop out often as you only get 10 replays on console and then it starts over-writing unsaved replays. I sometimes get nose down in a big gaming session and think I'll check my replays at the end, only to realize I played more than 10 rounds from the game I wanted to review, and now it's over-written.

Great video, super informative. Looking forward to your next video on using replays for photography. I'm a sucker for VG photography. lol

this is really interesting. I have tried to watch back replays and gave up because I couldn't figure out quite how to navigate all the different options to get to exactly what I wanted to see. This is a fantastic tutorial and extremally helpful

helo toby ur the goat, and i dont know how you don't have at least 300k subs

I just used replay to prove two players were cheating while teaming in Solo Ranked 😅

Good timing on this one! I tried to use Replay mode last night and my goodness was it brutal to navigate!

[SureBuddy]

Thanks! I had it on but just didn't know how to access it.

Hey Toby, thanks for this great video.
I didn't even know about this feature and even if it's bugged...how cool is that??? You can fly around freely in replay and see from other players perspective and much more? In retrospect? Absolutely rad thing!!! I have no idea if I'll ever use this, but I'm extremely impressed that something like this is possible.
I can't wait to see what you open my eyes with next.
👍🖖

Thanks Toby! Informative as usual. I don’t know if this is a just a console thing but every time there’s an update all my saved replays get “ corrupted “ and won’t play anymore

[Karmabruh]

bro so good he don’t need to touch the controllers

[Prophyria]

Just used this for the first time the other day bc my PS4 wouldn't let me record the clip (I had soloed someone who was doom, so reallllyy wanted it lol)
Anyway, I noticed it wasn't showing the damage, am I missing something? Is there a way to show the damage?

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the camera drone has the same movement mechanics as the Falcon Scout. That and photo mode might be something I mess around for fun in the future.

Pretty amazing Epic built all of this functionality.

THANKS I FOUND A FRIENDLY GUY IN LOBBY AND I GOT DISSCONECTED NOW I KNOW HOW TO REPLAY AND I ADDED HIM!!!!

My PS5 and old PS4 only save the most recent 5 games. It always tells me a couple are corrupt and asks if I want to delete. I say yes and then I can watch my most recent game. Often the total # of my elims are not presented accurately. I'm interested if other PS users have the same 'bugs'. Other than that the replays seem to run okay.

Is the record button just to change settings on how it records while you're playing? Not a tool for recoding your drove view replay?

[omgreptar]

Question - my controls for the replay are x-axis inverted. How do I fix that? It’s not like that when I’m actually playing the game.

[TkceFN]

How do u make replay mode show the loot you are carrying

[ericgonser]

I like turning on damage numbers and player profiles so you can see where others are through walls and how muvh damage each shot did.
I also change it to gameplay camera angle so it looks like it did when i played the match.
Someone said you can follow anyone's whole game if you stsrt with them from spawn island.

Hey Toby, fantastic video like always. Really useful.
I was just wondering, could you make another video about tips on how to detect cheaters? Actually, this is what I use this replay feature most for, to check if the player who eliminated me was actually cheating. But often times I still have no certainty even after watching the replay many times. I still report them usually, but what if I'm wrong.

That'd be so helpful, if you could share some tips on how to be make sure if someone is actually cheating or not.
Thank you for all the work you put into your amazing videos! 🙏
