EnglishHow Large Are Replay Mod Files and How Can I Share Them?
Updated
Replay Mod recordings are very small: according to the official website, an average recording over 1 hour is less than 10 Megabytes large. That lightweight format is what makes replays practical to keep on disk and to send to other people. Sharing is done through the Replay Center, which the site describes as the way to easily share your replays with friends.
How large are Replay Mod files?
The official site states the format is lightweight, with an average 1-hour recording coming in under 10 MB. That figure is an average, not a hard limit — the actual size depends on what happens during the session and how long it runs. The practical takeaway is that storage and transfer are rarely a problem: a long play session costs a fraction of the space a normal screen recording of the same length would take.
Why the files stay small
The Replay Mod records your game session and lets you replay it from any perspective afterward. Because the file stores the session data rather than a rendered video, it stays compact. Rendering to an actual video file is a separate step handled by the built-in video creator, and that output will be much larger than the replay itself.
How do you share Replay Mod files?
The site points to the Replay Center as the sharing route: "You can easily share your Replays with your friends using the Replay Center." The flow is:
- Record your session with the mod.
- Open the Replay Center.
- Share the replay so others can open and replay it.
The people you share with need the Replay Mod to replay the session from their own perspective — the file is a replay, not a finished video. If your goal is a clip anyone can watch without the mod, render it with the built-in video creator first and share the resulting video instead.
Sharing vs. rendering: which do you want?
| Goal | What to share | Who can use it |
|---|---|---|
| Let a friend re-explore the session from any angle | The replay file via the Replay Center | People with the Replay Mod installed |
| Publish a watchable clip or cinematic | Video rendered with the built-in video creator | Anyone |
What this means in practice
- Storage: an hour of recording at under 10 MB on average means you can keep a large library of replays without worrying about disk space.
- Transfer: files this small send quickly over Discord or similar services, which fits the site's emphasis on the mod as a community.
- Planning: as one user impression on the site puts it, "you don't have to plan ahead" — you can record first and decide later whether to render or share the replay.
If you mainly want to hand someone a finished video, plan for the render step; if you want them to fly around your build or match from any camera angle, the replay file itself is the thing to send.
