Valve announced earlier that it would release the game to Steam players.Game recording function, allowing players to directly record game screens, which can be used for subsequent replay, sharing, or editing and creation.
This feature is currently only available in beta testing and operates as a background recording. It will be able to record the entire screen without significantly affecting game performance, and can store the recorded screen on a designated hard drive. Users can also set the recording time length and capacity limit. It also provides a quick start recording function, and can manually start and end recording.
In addition, the timeline will be displayed during any player's ongoing game screen recording, and automatically generates marks for events that occur in the game, such as unlocking related achievements and killing specific enemies. You can also add specific marks yourself to facilitate confirmation during subsequent video editing.
Short videos with stored images and related timelines can be viewed, shared, or edited directly, and are stored in MP4 format. Sharing methods include direct transmission via the Internet, sharing via the Steam App, QR Code, and even creating a temporary network link for shared videos, allowing users to quickly share them with others.
This recording function is not only applicable to Steam platform games. As long as the game played by the player supports the Steam embedded interface, this function can be used to record the game screen. It also uses hardware encoding in conjunction with AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards to reduce CPU computing resources. At the same time, it is emphasized that this function only records the game screen content and does not involve recording other screen content of the user's device.
Valve also emphasized that it will continue to develop new features, such as setting different screen recording methods for individual games, and also provide game developers with relevant tools and API resources to make it easier to embed game content into this screen recording function.
