About PlayVant

Platform questions

What is PlayVant?

PlayVant is a gameplay intelligence platform focused on helping players understand important gameplay moments and improve over time.

Instead of focusing primarily on stats or ranked analytics, PlayVant is designed around replay review, gameplay understanding, and moment-by-moment analysis.

What does PlayVant analyze?

PlayVant analyzes gameplay timing, positioning, movement, momentum, replay sequences, interaction context, and replay-observable gameplay events.

The current preview focuses primarily on missed gameplay moments and replay review workflows.

Does PlayVant support games other than Rocket League?

The current preview experience focuses on Rocket League replay review.

PlayVant is designed to expand into additional competitive games over time as replay exports, APIs, or structured gameplay telemetry become available.

Rocket League Preview

Current supported game

Why did PlayVant start with Rocket League?

Rocket League provides exportable replay files (.replay), which makes it possible to analyze actual gameplay events, timing, positioning, momentum, and player decisions directly from match data.

Rocket League also has strong replay depth, fast gameplay pacing, and highly reviewable moment-to-moment decision-making.

Which Rocket League modes work best?

PlayVant is optimized for standard Rocket League Soccar matches: 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3.

Other playlists and special modes can still be analyzed, but results may vary because those modes can change arena dimensions, goal placement, surfaces, objectives, and gameplay mechanics. This matters because replay analysis depends on spatial context such as field position, goal danger, wall reads, reachability, and player responsibility.

As more replays are analyzed and reviewed, support for additional playlists and game modes will continue to improve.

Can console Rocket League players use PlayVant?

Yes — console Rocket League players (Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch) can use PlayVant, but not directly from the console itself.

To upload replays into PlayVant, players currently need access to Rocket League on a Windows PC. Sign into Rocket League using the same Epic account linked to your console profile.

You do not need to switch to playing on PC

Console players do not need to permanently switch from console gameplay. Rocket League simply needs to be installed on a Windows PC so replay files can be saved and uploaded into PlayVant.

Rocket League replay workflow

1. Launch Rocket League on PC

2. Navigate to Profile → Match History

3. Select the match you want to review

4. Choose “Save Replay”

5. Upload the replay into PlayVant

Important note about Match History

Rocket League Match History includes the last 20 online matches from the previous 30 days, regardless of whether the matches were played on console or PC.

Although Rocket League allows players to name replays manually, replay files are stored on disk using GUID-style filenames such as:

8BCAA99A4C356EBAE02797BE822B9703.replay

Replay files are commonly stored at:

Documents\My Games\Rocket League\TAGame\DemosEpic

Since replay filenames do not match the replay name you entered in-game, we recommend noting the time you saved the replay so it’s easier to identify the correct file.

Optional replay mapping tip

Doubles Overtime Loss → 8BCAA99A4C356EBAE02797BE822B9703.replay

3 Missed Saves → 4E3ABF2811F12E4B2F130284BB5F3690.replay

Longer term, PlayVant may integrate with gameplay platforms and replay systems in ways that provide more seamless replay ingestion workflows.

What kinds of moments can PlayVant currently explain?

The current preview is focused primarily on missed touches, missed shots, awkward approaches, failed challenges, difficult reads, and other replay-reviewable missed moments.

Replay Uploads

Replay files and uploads

Where are Rocket League replay files stored?

On Windows, Rocket League replay files are commonly stored at:

Why does my replay file have a strange name?

Rocket League replay files often use GUID-style names generated automatically by the game.

Explanations & AI

Gameplay explanations

Why do some explanations say “likely” or “most likely”?

Gameplay review explanations are generated using replay-derived gameplay telemetry and AI-assisted systems.

PlayVant attempts to ground explanations in observable gameplay signals, but some gameplay situations involve uncertainty, incomplete context, or multiple possible causes.
