Manufacturer description

The Elgato Game Capture HD60 turns your console gameplay into shareable video without a second PC in the room. Plug it inline between your PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, or Wii U and your TV over the bundled HDMI cable, and it records 1080p at a full 60 fps straight to your Mac or PC over USB. There is no onboard storage cap to work around, so capture length is limited only by your drive space. Flashback Recording is the feature that saves clutch moments you did not plan for: the HD60 is always buffering, so you can slide back in time and hit record after the play already happened. When…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Elgato Game Capture HD60 using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the streaming gear category. Elgato's streaming gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for streaming gear of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the HD60 work with PS4 and Xbox One?

Yes. Elgato lists PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Wii U as supported consoles, connected through the included HDMI cable.

Can I record without a computer connected?

No. The HD60 captures over USB directly to a PC or Mac, so a host computer must stay connected while you record or stream.

How long can I record for?

Elgato advertises unlimited capture to your PC or Mac, so your recording length is bounded by available drive space rather than the device.

What is Flashback Recording?

It records retroactively. The HD60 keeps buffering gameplay, so you can slide back in time on your PC or Mac and hit record after a moment has already happened.

Can I add a webcam and commentary?

Yes. Stream Command adds webcam video and overlays to your stream, and a built-in live commentary feature lets you narrate over gameplay.

Is it good enough at 60 fps for fast shooters?

It captures 1080p at 60 fps, which matches the frame rate most console shooters target.
