The Need for Recording Gameplay on Handheld Gaming Consoles

For gamers, capturing and sharing gameplay has become an integral part of their experience. Whether you're showcasing your skills, helping others navigate the game, or simply reliving your favorite moments, recording your gameplay ensures that nothing is lost. For a game like Black Myth: Wukong, with its stunning visuals and fast-paced combat, the ability to record in high quality is especially important.

Handheld consoles like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion GO, and others offer portability and flexibility. However, recording gameplay on these devices has traditionally been a challenge.

Here's why the GC515 is ideal for handheld console gamers:

1. PC-free Recording:

Handheld consoles like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Legion GO offer convenience on-the-go gaming, but recording gameplay can be tricky.

2. Ability to Add a Mouse and Keyboard:

With two USB-A ports, the GC515 also functions as a docking station, allowing gamers to connect a mouse, keyboard, controller, or other peripherals to their setup. With an added mouse and keyboard, gamers will enjoy the same level of comfort when playing the game for long hours on their handheld console as if they were playing on a PS5 or PC, as they would find it more ergonomic.

3. High-Quality Recording:

Black Myth: Wukong is a visually stunning game, and the GC515 allows you to record it in its full glory, matching your handheld console's video output resolution (up to 4K30) even when recording to the microSD card. So whether you're scaling majestic landscapes or battling mythical foes, your recordings will look just as stunning.

4. Multiple Handheld Console Compatibility:

The GC515 is compatible with multiple handheld consoles, meaning if you have more than one handheld gaming console, you can easily switch between them without needing a different capture solution. This versatility ensures that no matter which handheld console you're playing the game on, your gameplay can still be recorded in stunning quality.

5. Option of Connecting to a PC for Streaming and Recording:

The GC515 also has a PC mode where you can connect it to a PC for recording and/or live streaming. This way, you can upscale your recording resolution to 4K (using AVerMedia's Streaming Center software) and easily live stream your gameplay while playing on your handheld console.
