Convert Replay Files to MP4 in Fortnite [Complete Guide 2024]

The popular Fortnite game developer, Epic games recently added a new setting in their game. It is named Replay System. 

But I know here your objection is you can’t play the .reply files. However, you can save it to your local storage.  

But you can’t play it ultimately to your operating system. You are unable to share the best shots of your performance.

I know you are a little bit upset about this. But I am here to help you. I will teach you a technique today that no one can tell you.

I have been a regular Fortnite gamer for a long time. I also share my best performance to social media and in my gaming community.

From today you can share your best gaming shots also. So let me discover the fact.

How to Convert replay files to MP4 in Fortnite

Reply setting is one of the great features of any gaming application. After playing a game, you can justify your performances, overall mistakes, and the scope of improvement.

So there is always a good chance to improve your gaming performance.

It also supports different camera angles such as 3rd person, Drone view (Follow, attaches, Free area), and overall gameplay view.

After seeing this, you can find your lackings and can polish your skillset by 2X or 3X faster.

It sounds very satisfactory, isn’t it?

But I told you earlier you can’t play the reply video in your operating system directly.

Because those reply files are stored as .reply data format.

No third party or windows media player supports this kind of data format.

There is a fantastic method to accomplish this. To perform this method, you must need a screen recording application.

You can also use the window’s default XBOX Game bar feature. But it is only available for Windows 10 and Windows 11 only. But I personally prefer the OBS application.
