A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program for performing a method, the computer-readable medium comprising:

• program instructions for receiving actuation of a universal button on a controller during live game play of a video game being played by a user, wherein a plurality of image frames of the live game play that is generated through execution of the video game in response to game controller input by the user is presented in sequential order on a display of the user, wherein a current image frame is being displayed when the universal button is actuated;
• program instructions for receiving selection of a rewind mode from a plurality of features presented in a user interface displayed simultaneous with one or more corresponding image frames of the live game play in response to the actuation of the universal button;
• program instructions for accessing from storage a subset of captured image frames of the plurality of image frames generated for the live game play of the video game;
• program instructions for entering the rewind mode by automatically switching from displaying the live game play of the video game to displaying the subset of captured image frames in reverse beginning from the current image frame;
• and
• program instructions for responding to one or more rewind controller inputs by the user configured for controlling the displaying of the subset of captured image frames in the rewind mode.
