Valve Introduces Performance-Focused Gameplay Recording Tool on Steam in Beta

Valve, the video game company behind Steam, has recently added a new native gameplay recording tool to its platform in beta. This feature is available on Steam Deck as well. With this tool, users can continuously record clips or manually turn on recording with a hotkey. The recording takes minimal computer resources away from the game being played and uses NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards for recording.

Valve's new gameplay recording tool is designed to take as little computer resources away from the game as possible, making it performance-focused. It allows users to set duration and storage limits for background recordings. The system also includes a timeline feature and player-added event markers, making it easier for users to find key moments in their recordings.

The recording tool works with any game on Steam and can be exported as raw .mp4 files for further editing using third-party software. Some games, such as Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2, will also be able to add custom markers to the gameplay timeline for easy editing.

This new feature is a significant improvement for Steam users who previously had to rely on third-party solutions like Decky Recorder for clip capturing. It's now easier than ever to record and share gaming moments with others on the platform.

    The author makes several statements that are factual and do not contain any fallacies. However, there is one instance of an appeal to authority when the author states 'Valve has continued to make Steam the best PC store launcher out there by a huge margin.' This statement is subjective and based on the author's opinion. Therefore, I cannot give a perfect score.
    • Valve suggests this could let you go back and clip–using basic editing tools included in Steam–a cool moment or even let you go back to see what an NPC said about a sidequest.
    • Even though I want games to launch on more platforms and PC stores, I understand why so many people prefer Valve’s software. It’s free, easy to use, and always getting better.
