Video games typically create replay files to record gameplay, which can be reviewed later in the game. These files usually contain data about in-game actions and events rather than traditional video data. Because they're not standard video files, you can't play them as MP4 videos by changing the file extension and using standard video players.

Convert game replay to MP4 video
Converting one of the many existing game replay file types directly to MPEG-4 Video format (.replay to .mp4 conversion) will, most likely, not be possible using traditional video conversion utilities. These programs, typically, cannot convert game replays or game session recordings to multimedia formats, such as MP4.
Each replay file type is proprietary to the game that creates them, and they can usually only be opened and played within the respective game client. Unless the particular game comes equipped with a default function allowing players to export their sessions directly to MP4 format, you might have to use a screen recording utility, such as Bandicam, OBS Studio, Fraps, or Camtasia, to record your game session loaded from the REPLAY file. You can also use free built-in tools like Xbox Game Bar, or if you have an Nvidia graphics card, you can use the Nvidia Game Overlay from GeForce Experience software to record your gameplay.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a .replay file directly to MP4?
Usually not, because a .replay file generally stores game actions or match data rather than recorded video. It normally must be opened in the game that created it and played back while the screen is recorded or exported as video.
Will converting a game replay to MP4 preserve the original gameplay quality?
The MP4 quality depends on the resolution, frame rate, and recording settings used during playback. It cannot recover visual detail that was not rendered or recorded, and the result is usually a lossy video file rather than an editable replay.
Why does renaming .replay to .mp4 not work?
Renaming only changes the filename extension and does not turn replay data into video. An MP4 needs encoded video and audio streams, while a .replay file usually contains game-specific data that only the compatible game or replay viewer can interpret.
Can an old .replay file be converted if the game no longer opens it?
Often it cannot be converted unless a compatible version of the original game or replay viewer can still read it. Replay files may stop working after game updates, because they depend on the game engine, assets, and rules used when they were recorded.
