What are game captures?
Game captures are screenshots or video clips taken during gameplay. Given the impressive graphical capabilities of the PS5, it’s only natural for players to stop and capture the moment. In fact, most PlayStation exclusives even include a dedicated photo mode to better position the camera, control environmental effects and change the stance or expression of your character.
By pressing the Share button on the DualSense controller, you can bring up the Create Menu to save a video of recent gameplay or take a screenshot. You can also start recording to broadcast your gameplay or share it with friends.
