gameplay footage
Recorded game action
Gameplay footage is video showing a video game being played, as opposed to pre-rendered cinematics or promotional trailers.
Publishers release gameplay footage to demonstrate how a game actually looks and handles: The trailer was exciting, but I want to see actual gameplay footage before I preorder.
Reviews and streaming content typically feature gameplay footage captured during real sessions.
