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
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.
Also, I observed the funniest incident on my replay yesterday. I was coming in through Brutal Bastion, into the big North building, running up the stairs when suddenly, without any sound or visual audio warnings, the entire stairwell blew up! I was playing builds so starting building as I saw Deadpool come to finish me off. It was a close fight, but he edged me out by like 20hp and got the Elim. It took me so by surprise I had to go back and figure out how I didn't hear or see any indication of him coming. He did try to rocket ram me INDOORS after I'd built-up, so my first thought was that he rocket rammed in on top of me. But that wasn't possible as I didn't hear it coming at all. On looking at the replay, I could see the marker for him on the map, but it took me like 5 minutes to actually find him. He'd opened a chest on the top of the stairs. Left the items there, and then planted C4 all around the area. Then went and hit under the stairwell to wait for a victim to spring his trap on. My man sat there for a WHILE waiting to spring that trap LOL. My initial response was "what the hell man, an ambush? Really?". But I gotta respect the commitment to the trap. It worked.
I was just getting ready to leave a comment about how nothing actually saves for long on Xbox, making the whole feature a lot less worthwhile. Glad you did a more thorough write up then I was about to.
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. 👍🖖
Honestly confused as to why you think that? Half of them are members of mine and I have over 40k subs. A lot of people don't know how to use the replay system so I made a video about it because they kept asking. Actually confused on how your comment has 30 up votes lol
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
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.
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.
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.
@@itsglide. it's while you are watching replays you can select a settings tab and one of then says damage numbers. I had to look for a minute to find it. I will try to look up exactly how amd comment.
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! 🙏
one can never be certain, but I look up the stats of suspicious players. if someone's aim and gameplay is insane but their stats are from someone who rarely if ever wins, cheating is likely.
Cool intro but yeah the bugginess (and slowness) of that UI is a bit annoying. Looking at the comments I think next up is a how to Fortnite OBS (although that should be simple as).
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?
Hi, a question, on one game I hit a cool sniper shot and I want to have a clip of that but when I use the recording tool it apears as a noscope, It doesn't show the sniper scope, is there any way to do this?
I think it's a bug with this seasons guns :( don't show scopes because of attachments. You might try staying on your character the WHOLE game and not skipping around, that makes the scope render properly.
Can't wait to test this feature! Thanks for great video! discovered your cannel Last week and my gameplay already improved a lot! Don't bother with the "AI generated comments section" haters comment and keep up the good work!! beepbeep boop i'm not a robot (or am I? 🤖)
With all the replay stuff on I only dropped 2 frame average. So basically nothing. It's not a noticable difference. I still float between 180-190 fps at 1440p
Great video, super informative. Looking forward to your next video on using replays for photography. I'm a sucker for VG photography. lol

You just got a sub 😊

Happens on PC as well, and it makes sense since there are usually gameplay changes and bug fixes.
Thanks! I had it on but just didn't know how to access it.

PS5 used to save 10 but now it’s only 5. I experience the same as you.
That's rough...
Thanks for your help
No problem slim
I just used replay to prove two players were cheating while teaming in Solo Ranked 😅

Anyway to see replays for rocket racing?
THANKS I FOUND A FRIENDLY GUY IN LOBBY AND I GOT DISSCONECTED NOW I KNOW HOW TO REPLAY AND I ADDED HIM!!!!
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?
How do u make replay mode show the loot you are carrying
Will this effect gameplay in anyway??
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?
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.
It should be in your settings, under replays
Hi, a question, on one game I hit a cool sniper shot and I want to have a clip of that but when I use the recording tool it apears as a noscope, It doesn't show the sniper scope, is there any way to do this?

I can’t use replays on mobile 😢
how do u exit out of replay mode
Leave how you would leave in battle royale
I don’t have any replays could you help
The actual 400th video? 😂
What software do you use to add your video overlays? My son has OBS but wasn't sure if that is all you need. We don't have a camera yet.
Yes, OBS
Hit R on the keyboard to return to your character when in Drone Free mode.
Great to know!
2:51 it doesn’t save the last 10 anymore on console, it hasn’t for a long time. It saves the last 5.
Yikes!

Same
