    Oh this is a great feature, I’m quite likely to use this to send stupid clips to friends.

    I’m curious how this might affect game performance. Am I going to play with it turned off all the time?

      Despite it being in the FAQ, all it actually says is that they try to cause as little performance loss as they could. No idea how much that is, or if people will turn it off to get a few frames back.

      It does say that without a GPU the performance is considerable.

      pc has already had this with Xbox game bar and the perf impact isnt really noticable. if I recall correctly modern gpus have some dedicated chips for video rendering that are otherwise idle. I would assume there is some hit to vram that could hurt if you’re limited on it, but for most people it should be fine.

      It’s not “decades” old but Xbox One had a screen recording feature that I used a few times.to save fun clips.

      One time, I was playing AC: Odyssey and attacking a fort. Some general guy noticed me and followed me back to the edge of a cliff where I just went over the side. This motherfucker just hops off the edge and I watch him fall all the way down and slam into the rocks below. It was hilarious.
