Elgato brings 4K60 game capture to the masses with cross-platform Game Capture 4K S
Elgato has a new launch heading our way. Today, the new Game Capture 4K S was announced, a new external capture solution built to deliver class-leading gameplay recording and sharing capabilities.
The Game Capture 4K S is the successor to Elgato’s best-selling capture device, the HD60 X. The new external device delivers 4K/60FPS capture, zero-latency passthrough, and near-zero software preview delay. Even high-intensity titles play without lag on a dedicated gaming display, while in-app capture previews respond with as little as 30ms of latency on capable setups, which is smooth enough for most single-screen workflows.
The Game Capture 4K S is a cross-device solution as well, enabling game capture from Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as Nintendo’s latest system, the Switch 2. Elgato has also kept up with its commitment to supporting iOS, with compatibility for USB-C iPads.
If you’d prefer to capture at an even higher frame rate, then the Elgato Game Capture 4K S has you covered there too. You can swap from 4K/60 to 1080p at up to 240FPS, or capture 1440p gameplay at up to 120FPS.
Launching alongside 4K S is Elgato Studio, the company’s brand-new capture application slated to replace 4KCU in coming months. Designed to simplify the recording process, the app detects 4K S instantly and offers ultra-low preview latency, minimal system load during recording, and essential features like a snapshot tool to capture memorable moments for social media or video thumbnails. Creators can adjust 4K S settings and experiment with beta features directly in the software, whether they’re just starting out or producing content at scale.
The Elgato Game Capture 4K S will be available soon, priced at $159.99.
