A brand new Replay Basketball was released in 2003, and PC Replay Baseball was created for computer play and released in 2009. In August 2007, the company held Replay Retreat 2007 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In July 2014, another Replay Retreat was held in Pittsburgh. Replayers from all over the nation came for a weekend of fellowship and gaming.
