The long wait is over, and the replay system is finally arriving in Valorant with the game’s next update!
As confirmed by Riot Games, the highly anticipated replay system will finally be added to Valorant with its upcoming 11.06 update. It will enable players to watch their own replays across Unrated, Competitive, Swiftplay, and Premier games, but there’s a catch!
Players will only be able to check their replays from the patch that is currently live. For instance, if you played a game on patch 11.06 and you want to view the match replay on patch 11.07, you won’t be able to. Once a new patch hits the live servers, all replays from the previous one will no longer be accessible.
Additionally, you won’t be able to check out other players’ replays. This means that players will still be unable to tune into pro VODs from certain player perspectives or watch replays of the VCT or Valorant esports matches in general.
Alongside adding the replay system, the devs have also revealed a massive ban wave that took place over the past six months. According to Riot, the most recent crackdown removed over 40,000 bot accounts during this period.
