Epic came out with a new feature called the Replay System for Fortnite Battle Royale with their new Update V.3.5.0. Now the problem is the replay videos are getting saved in .replay format, which is not an actual video format. The .replay files do not contain video information. They contain game data. So, we cannot directly convert them into .mp4 or other video formats. You need to use third-party recording software to record the replay footage. Screen recording applications like Fraps, OBS, and even GeForce Experience would solve the problem pretty easily.
Fortnite: How to convert Replay files to mp4
Here are the steps to convert .replay files to .mp4 in Fortnite :
- Launch Fortnite and play a normal Battle Royale match
- After your match is over, click on the Career tab
- Click on Replay
- Select the footage from the list and play it
- Predetermine what settings you are going to use before you start the recording
- Start the recording with one of the recording applications mentioned above
- Play the Replay footage
- Wait till you have recorded all the highlights you want to extract
- Search for the folder where the recorded video is saved
You are good to go!

That’s all, folks!
Shoaib, 30, is a simple guy who loves to play video games, and enjoys new cuisines sporadically. He has been gaming since he was 7 years old, and with an experience of 22 years, under his belt, there is not a single AAA game in this world, that he hasn’t played. Despite being a MBA Graduate he decided to follow his passion. And because of his love for gaming, Frondtech came into existence.

Thank You. Happy to help. 🙂

What do we do about the replays that have been marked as outdated?
Sadly there hasn’t been any fix to this issue from Epic’s side. So you have no other choice but to delete them as they could not be retrieved.
When I do record/convert the .replay file, will the “eliminated whoever” text show? Because for some reason it doesn’t show in the .replay.
Yes it is suppose to show.
My Man!!!!!!
I was going to try to record one of my battle replays with a 3rd party recording, in game mode…i have to keep scrolling thru all players before getting to mine? I would think my account would be primary or default for viewing? Strange. I see all other players, but not mine. 🙁
It is usually the default.
