Fortnite replays: turn them on and find them

Fortnite can save a replay of every match on your PC. The option is not always on, and it is what Chest Tracker reads to count your chests.

Turn on replays

1. In Fortnite, open Settings.
2. Go to the Game tab.
3. Scroll down to the Replays section.
4. Set Record Replays to On.

Every match you play from then on is saved. Matches played before are not.

Where are Fortnite replays saved?

On Windows, in this folder:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FortniteGame\Saved\Demos

Paste it in the File Explorer address bar to open it. Each match is a .replay file. Fortnite deletes its oldest replays after a while to make room: keep a copy of the ones you care about (Chest Tracker can archive them for you).

A replay is missing?

• Record Replays was off during that match: only matches played after you turn it on are saved.
• The match is not over yet: Fortnite writes the replay while you play, but only finishes it when the match ends.
• Fortnite deleted it to make room for newer ones.

What Chest Tracker does with them

Once a match ends, Chest Tracker reads its replay, counts the chests you opened and adds them to your total. It only reads the files: it never touches the game.
