We’ve been playing games on Steam since 2004, which makes us roughly as old as those ancient heads on Easter Island. Even though we’ve been using Valve’s digital platform for two decades, that doesn’t mean it can’t still surprise us. And hoo-boy, did Valve ever drop a delightful one earlier in the summer.
Steam Game Recording has just become available in beta version on the Steam Deck, and we’re already obsessed with it. You can find out a lot more about it at the Game Recording beta blog (https://store. steampowered.com/gamerecording) but we’ll attempt to briefly summarise what makes this feature so special. In essence, it’s a new built-in system that enables you to record footage of your Steam games. Said footage can then be replayed, cut into clips and either downloaded to your own PC or laptop or shared with your friends using a QR code or a custom Steam Share Link.
