Logitech's AI-Powered Replay Software Struggles With Counter-Strike 2 Clip Selection

Logitech has launched Replay, a new beta software that automatically records gameplay and uses deep learning to identify and splice together the best clips. The tool is free to download and currently supports 44 games.

In testing with Counter-Strike 2, the software's clip selection proved inconsistent. After playing a deathmatch and casual match, Replay selected footage that included a spawnkill, an unimpressive AWP kill from warmup, a clip of the tester dead in spectator mode, and multiple missed shots. The software included only a couple of clips from the deathmatch despite the player landing what they describe as "pretty dope kills" later in the game, including Deagle kills, Scout quickscopes, and a flick noscope.

When tested on a single deathmatch recording, Replay identified just one relatively mediocre clip. However, manually reviewing the same recording and selecting highlights produced noticeably better results, completed in about five minutes of editing.

Beyond its AI selection feature, Replay offers straightforward editing functionality. It begins recording automatically when a game launches and provides manual clip selection and removal upon exit. Storage limits can be configured, with older recordings deleted once the cap is reached. The tester reported no noticeable performance impact while running Replay on a high-end system.

The software remains in beta and is available as a free download. Logitech encourages users to test it across different games and report their experiences.
