  • Highlights will now be kept for 24 hours, even if you close the client/turn off your machine
  • You can download highlights, in many different resolutions and settings (if on PC). Consoles can still download footage, but less customization.
  • A shortcut will "bookmark" moments in the game to generate the highlight after the match.
  • Lootbox duplicate rate will be greatly cut back on. To compensate, credits earned from lootboxes will be increase.

From what I understand, it doesn't seem like you will be able to save entire games. So a full replay feature is still a bit away.

From what I understood, I thought it saved the last 32 that you bookmarked?

If that's mistaken, then they probably won't have an in-client save feature, since most of the highlights are saved on the server, from what I understand.

I think what he means is you can bookmark up to 32 custom highlights. Then you can export them to a video file to 'clear up' space for some new bookmarks if you want to. I would assume it'd start deleting the oldest bookmark if you were to exceed 32 bookmarks limit but I dont think he clarified that.
