Here’s our CSGO replay controls guide. The demo menu has been around for a long time, and has proven very difficult to navigate.

We also have a CSGO: All Dust 2 map callouts guide.

CSGO is one of the most popular first-person shooters to date. As an E-sports title, it was important that valve added a replay mode to rewatch your favorite matches. This can be done to record a funny moment or create a montage of your finest AWP headshots. 

Nevertheless, the replay menu has proven to be extremely difficult to understand. For a newbie, it’s akin to typing on a keyboard using your toes. But sit back and relax, because, by the end, the end of this article, navigating the replay menu will become second nature to you.

What Are CSGO Replay Controls For Demo Mode?

Since the days of the original CS 1.6, the replay controls have been part of this series. These allow you to manipulate the space and time continuum. You can load your favorite tournaments or matches and replay them just like a video. 

Using the Demo Menu, you can fast forward or reverse, move around in time during the demo, and even change its playback speed. This allows you to record the perfect moment at the ideal speed. 

How Can I Go Into The Demo Mode?

Before you can start changing the flow of time in a demo, you first need to get access to the demo menu. In order to pull this off, just follow these steps:

Step 1: Enable Developer Console

Go into the settings menu in the game. Enter the Game sub-menu and then choose the first tab,  which is conveniently named “Game” as well. From here you can set “Enable Developer Console” to Yes.

Step 2: Bind The Console To A Button

Go into the controls section of the options menu. Then navigate to the UI Controls subsection. Here you can bind any key you prefer to the “Toggle Console” prompt. We recommend that you set it to ~, also called Tilde key.

Step 3: Load And Enable The Demo Menu

Toggle the console on, type “demoui” into it, and press enter. A playback menu will pop up. From here, simply load the demo you want to view and you’re good to go. The fact that you had to do all this to get here is proof that this aspect needs to be revamped by Valve.
