The Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) will be released in select markets starting on November 12, 2020.
We're excited to confirm that your Elgato game capture device supports PlayStation 5 capture!
Will I be able to capture PlayStation 5 on day one?
Yes, regardless of which Elgato capture device you own, you'll be able to capture your PlayStation 5 gameplay on day one. PlayStation 5 features a HDCP toggle exactly like the PlayStation 4. Once HDCP is disabled capture will work.
Which capture devices support capturing PlayStation 5
All current Elgato capture devices support capturing video from PlayStation 5.
Note that supported resolution and refresh rate combinations depend on the capture device. For example, HD60 S will be able to passthrough and capture a maximum of 1080p60 from PlayStation 5, while 4K60 Pro MK.2 can passthrough and capture up to 4K60 HDR.
Can I capture 4K60 HDR from PlayStation 5?
Yes, with 4K60 Pro MK.2 and 4K60 S+, full 4K60 HDR capture is supported.
Can I capture 1440p120 from PlayStation 5?
Yes, 1440p output at 120Hz was added with PlayStation 5 firmware in September 2022.
Will I need an HDMI 2.1 compatible capture device to capture gameplay from PlayStation 5?
No! HDMI is backward compatible, meaning PlayStation 5 can output video to devices that do not feature HDMI 2.1.
Will Elgato release an HDMI 2.1 capture card for 4K120 HDR passthrough and capture?
Yes! Elgato released two HDMI capture devices in January 2024 - 4K X and 4K Pro that support HDMI 2.1 and 4K120 HDR passthrough.
