Steam’s latest beta update has introduced a new game recording and sharing feature that is impressively easy to use. This tool allows users to effortlessly record their gameplay sessions and share them with others. With Nvidia’s Shadowplay becoming less popular, Steam’s new recording feature is set to become the go-to option for gamers.
The tool runs smoothly in the background without compromising game performance, automatically saving recordings and screenshots in a dedicated folder. Users can easily navigate through their recordings, clip and export sections, and share them with friends or on other devices. The tool preserves the aspect ratio of the monitor, ensuring high-quality recordings.
Default settings include saving sessions in 120-minute chunks at 12Mbps video quality, with the option to customize settings based on individual preferences. Valve plans to introduce additional features for developers to enhance recording sessions, such as automatic markers and snippet sections. The tool also includes a QR code link generator for easy sharing and is compatible with the Steam Deck.
This new recording feature brings Steam closer to consoles like PlayStation and Xbox in terms of social tools but offers more flexibility and options for tech-savvy users. By continuously improving its platform, Valve is solidifying Steam’s position as the leading platform for PC gaming.
To access the new recording feature, users can enable the Steam beta and navigate to the Game Recording tab in the Steam Settings menu. Give it a try and start capturing and sharing your gaming adventures effortlessly.
