Elgato is launching its Game Capture 4K S device today, which will let gamers and streamers capture gameplay from Xbox Series S / X, PS5, or Switch 2 consoles in 4K resolution at 60fps.
The $159.99 4K S is designed as a replacement and improvement to Elgato’s older $179.99 HD60 X capture device, and it goes on sale today.
The 4K S is a lot less expensive than the $200+ HDMI 2.1 capture cards that Elgato launched last year for 4K at 60fps and HDR capture, but it’s only $30 more than the Neo game capture card — which is not capable of capturing gameplay in 4K at 60fps.
You’ll be able to capture in 4K at 60fps or 1080p at 60fps with HDR enabled.
