By parsing these files, game analytics can gain invaluable insights into when and how a player makes moves, subsequently enabling them to optimize game designs.

OSR File Important Information

The OSR file format is specific to the Osu! game and is not meant to be opened and viewed in a text editor. Attempting to do so could damage the file and make it unreadable by the game.

Furthermore, OSR files should always be handled carefully as they contain valuable information including the player's username, replay version, beatmap hash, player's graphical settings, hit timestamps, etc. Hence, they could be exploited for cheating or other malicious intents if fallen into wrong hands.

If you need to share a replay, it's recommended to convert it into a more universal format like .MP4 instead of sharing the OSR files directly. Moreover, always be sure to download .osr files and other related content from trusted sources.
