Where Are Fortnite Replays Stored?
Fortnite replay (.replay) folder on Windows, and why replays expire or vanish after patches.
Last updated
Fortnite stores match replays as .replay files in a Demos folder under Local AppData. They are not in Documents or the game install folder.
Replays are fragile. Major patches routinely invalidate old ones, and the game prunes the folder over time. Copy anything worth keeping out before updating.
Where Fortnite stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FortniteGame\Saved\Demos
Paste into the Run dialog or File Explorer address bar. Sort by Date modified to match files to matches, since names are session IDs.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my replay say expired or corrupted?
The replay was recorded on an older game version. Fortnite replays only play back on the version that recorded them, so patches break old files.
Can I change where Fortnite saves replays?
No setting exists for it. Back them up by copying the .replay files elsewhere by hand.
