Steam launches native gameplay recording feature in beta, allowing users to record, replay, clip, and share their favorite gameplay moments with ease.

Embark on a Gaming Odyssey: Steam Unleashes Native Game Recording in Beta

The wait is finally over! Steam has officially launched its native gameplay recording feature, aptly called Game Recording, in beta stage. This innovative tool allows users to record, replay, clip, and share their favorite gameplay moments with ease. What’s more, it’s compatible with the Steam Deck handheld gaming device, making it a dream come true for gamers on-the-go.

Steam Game Recording: A Game-Changer

Game Recording boasts two modes: Background Recording and On Demand Recording. The former records gameplay in the background without requiring manual input, allowing users to choose the storage location, set gameplay duration, and storage limits. If the specified limit is reached, the oldest footage will be overwritten. The latter mode, on the other hand, requires manual inputs, enabling users to start and stop gameplay recording as needed.

The feature also comes with a built-in editor for clipping recordings, making it easy to showcase only the most important moments. Users can then choose to save or share the footage with others. Since it supports Steam Deck, users can seamlessly send footage from the handheld console to a PC or mobile device.

One of the most exciting features of Game Recording is Steam Timeline. This innovative feature appears when actively recording gameplay, displaying markers for important and relevant game events, such as boss fights, Steam achievements, and more. Users can add these markers manually, and supported games can also add them automatically.

Getting Started with Steam Game Recording

To access Steam Game Recording, users need to join the beta group by visiting Steam Settings > Interface > Client Beta Participation. Once enrolled, users can restart Steam and access the feature by visiting Steam Settings > Game Recording. Here, they can disable game recording, choose between background and on-demand recording, and adjust settings to their preference.
