Detects when your game starts and records automatically — no hotkeys or manual uploads.

Automatic match recording for Valorant, CS2 & Deadlock
Play normally — UpForge records every match in the background and queues a full AI coaching report on your dashboard. No hotkeys, no manual uploads, no browser tabs.
Fill the gap between games and coaching.
Zero FPS impact
NVENC, AMF, or QuickSync runs on your GPU encoder independently of the game renderer.
Coaching on your dashboard
Full AI breakdown queued after each match — typically 10–30 minutes depending on length.
