Where Are World of Tanks Replays and Screenshots on Windows?

World of Tanks on Windows keeps battle recordings in a replays subfolder and Print Screen captures in a screenshots subfolder of the client folder.

Last updated

Replays live in <client-folder>\replays, with default C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\replays for the standalone client. Files use the .wotreplay extension.

Screenshots taken with Print Screen in battle go to <client-folder>\screenshots, with default C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\screenshots. Both roots change if the game was installed to a custom path.

Where World of Tanks stores this, by platform

Windows
C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\replays

Root follows the install location chosen in the launcher, including Steam library paths. Recording must be set to All or Last under Settings, General, Enable Battle Recording. Close the client before opening a .wotreplay, and keep client version matched because old replays break after updates.

Windows
C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\screenshots

In-game Print Screen writes here without a clipboard paste step. Steam overlay or Windows clipboard captures save elsewhere. If the folder is missing, confirm the install root in launcher settings and check for a custom game path.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enable replay recording?

Open Settings in game, go to the General tab, set Enable Battle Recording to All for every battle or Last for only the latest battle, then apply. New files appear in the replays folder after the next battle.

Why does a replay fail to play after a patch?

Replay files are tied to the client version that recorded them. After a game update, old .wotreplay files often stop working. Keep the old client only for archival viewing or re record after updating.
