Today, Elgato has released the new HD60 X, a powerful new external capture card that provides seamless compatibility with the newest generation of game consoles. The HD60 X equips anyone to stream and record their gameplay in the highest quality without limitations.
Building on the acclaimed HD60 S+, HD60 X features all-new architecture with rear ports to keep cables out of sight.

Instant Gameview technology syncs your broadcast with your gameplay, allowing you to monitor your capture feed with ultra-low latency.

Our game capture solutions span three console generations and have powered hundreds of millions of uploads and livestreams. Today, we’re thrilled to launch yet another definitive capture solution for the latest generation of game consoles.”
