How to record gameplay on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch/Switch 2 to save your highlights

The PS5 has an internal capture system that can store up to an hour of gameplay. To save recent gameplay, press the Share button and select Save Recent Gameplay, with options for clip lengths up to 60 minutes. Double-tapping the Share button captures a three-minute clip by default. For exporting clips, change the capture settings to MP4 format and use the Media Gallery for editing and transferring. On the Nintendo Switch, players can save the last 30 seconds of gameplay by holding the Capture Button. This footage can be edited in the Album and transferred via the Switch App or USB-C cable. Longer recordings require external capture devices. PC gamers often use ShadowPlay from the NVIDIA App, accessible with Alt+Z during gameplay for saving videos. Steam also offers a built-in Game Recording system for background recording up to 120 minutes or on-demand recording. External capture devices, like the Elgato HD60 series, allow for capturing gameplay from consoles directly to a PC, though they may introduce latency and require an HDMI splitter. Ensure HDCP is enabled on the console to avoid recording issues with copyrighted material.
