Why automatic recording matters

Most players know they should review gameplay. Almost nobody uploads VODs consistently because the friction is brutal: remember to record, manage disk space, trim files, upload, add match context, wait.

UpForge Desktop removes most of that loop. Install on Windows, connect your accounts once, and play normally. For Valorant, the full experience is live today: recording, Riot timeline sync, match replay, and coaching on your dashboard.


Valorant — the full loop (today)

This is where UpForge shines right now:

  • Competitive and Premier matches record in the background
  • Your Riot timeline syncs automatically — agent, rounds, kills, economy, spike events
  • Match replay opens from your dashboard with round markers and map intel
  • With auto-analyse enabled (default), a coaching report queues when the game ends — typically 10–30 minutes depending on queue load

No manual upload. No pasting links. No guessing which round your death happened in.


CS2 and Deadlock — also supported, different paths

CS2: The desktop app records matches and can auto-find your latest demo after a game for analysis. Demo coaching covers positioning, economy, and utility — a parallel path to Valorant's timeline replay, not a copy of it.

Deadlock (beta): Connect Steam for stat tracking and hero trends on your dashboard. Replay-based coaching uses Deadlock-specific plans — built for the game, still expanding.

We are honest about this: Valorant is the deepest integration. CS2 and Deadlock are real, but the workflows differ.


One-time setup (about five minutes)

    • Download from upforge.gg/desktop
    • Sign in and connect OBS WebSocket — UpForge configures the recording scene for you; you do not manage scenes manually each session
    • Link your Riot account (Valorant) and/or Steam (Deadlock) as needed
    • Queue — recording runs in the background

What happens after a Valorant match

When the game closes:

    • Your recording attaches to the match timeline immediately — reviewable even before coaching finishes
    • Round-by-round replay with kill/death markers and intel patterns
    • If auto-analyse is on and you have quota, a full coaching report with drills lands on your dashboard

Free to start

Every account includes 3 lifetime coaching reports (shared across Valorant and CS2 submissions) — no card required. The desktop app is free. Upgrade to Plus (5/month) or Pro (15/month) when you want more volume and deeper review tools.
