The much-anticipated Replay System for Valorant is finally here. After years of player requests, Riot Games confirmed that this feature will launch first on PC and be limited to ranked matches at the start before being introduced on console and in other game modes. Designed to help players develop strategies, improve performance, and remember their best plays, the Replay System has the potential to be one of the biggest quality-of-life updates brought to Valorant.
Expected Release Date
The Replay System is expected to release with Patch 11.06 in September 2025, while simultaneously deploying the feature with a staggered rollout regionally:

At launch, the system will be available only on PC and limited to Competitive (Ranked) mode. Console platforms and other game modes are scheduled to receive support later in 2025.
What the Replay System Includes at Launch

- Platform Availability: PC only at first; consoles will follow in a later update this year.
- Game Modes: Ranked matches only; additional modes are planned for future updates.
- Development Context: Riot teased the system back in a May 2025 developer update, celebrating Valorant’s 5th anniversary. That roadmap also included major features such as the Unreal Engine 5 upgrade and new anti-smurfing tools.
The first reveal showed fans the user interface of the Replay System, along with some of its first features.
After years and years of people asking the ability to record their matches, the Replay System is (finally) on the way. Riot will be cautiously phasing in the Replay System starting on PC and just for Ranked mode, and in the meantime will ensure stability before going mass market.
Players should keep September 15, 2025, close as the date this revolutionary new feature will be live. As we approach Patch 11.06, be sure to pay attention to Riot’s social media for final notes.
