Elgato Game Capture Neo (color box)

The Neo Series: Elgato's Ecosystem Designed to Create Anywhere, Easily

With Game Capture Neo, Elgato offers an external capture card designed to get straight to the point: capturing your gaming sessions without complex setup. Its compact form factor and "plug and create" philosophy fit within the Neo range, designed for creators who want a reliable solution, easy to transport, and quick to deploy on a laptop as well as on a fixed setup. The result: a preserved game feed on the screen via pass-through, and a clean capture intended for recording or streaming.

Who Game Capture Neo Is For: Beginner Streamers, Mobile Creators, Multi-Platform Gaming

This USB HDMI capture card is aimed at those who want to record gameplay, create videos, or start streaming with minimal friction. It is suitable for console players as well as creators who switch between multiple devices: PS4, PS5, Xbox, Switch, and more broadly any unencrypted HDMI source. Thanks to its compatibility with laptop, PC, Mac, and iPad, it adapts to modern uses: capture at home, editing on the go, or content production in a limited space.
Game Capture Neo is also relevant for broader "creator" workflows: capturing a video signal for a meeting, product demo, class, or presentation, while maintaining simple integration into your usual applications.

Smooth Capture, Preserved Image, and Hassle-Free Integration

4K60 HDR Pass-through: Play at Maximum Quality, Without Lag

Pass-through is at the heart of the experience: the card duplicates the video signal coming from your console. One stream goes to your gaming screen for a responsive experience, the other is sent to your capture device. This way, you enjoy a comfortable gaming session in 4K60 HDR on your TV or monitor while producing content optimized for recording or live streaming.

1080p60 Capture: The Right Format to Create, Edit, and Publish

For broadcasting and content creation, 1080p60 remains a highly effective standard: sharp rendering, smooth motion, lighter files to edit and export. Game Capture Neo allows you to record or stream with solid Full HD quality, perfectly suited for video platforms and social networks.

Compatible with Your Software: From Simple Recording to Advanced Streaming

The goal is to let you choose your workflow. Whether you want a quick recording to archive a game or a full scene with overlays, chat, and transitions, Game Capture Neo integrates into many software environments. You simply select Game Capture Neo as the video source in your application and start recording or broadcasting.
Finally, the "creator" promise is kept: no time limit, no watermark, and no subscription. You keep control over your files, your production pace, and the evolution of your setup.
