Elgato HD60 S+
An enthusiast-tier USB capture card capturing 1080p60 in HDR10 with 4K60 HDR10 passthrough — a clean, straightforward console-capture entry point within Elgato's deep lineup. It covers 1080p60 streaming and 4K passthrough well; if you need actual 4K recording rather than passthrough, you'll want one of the 4K-capture models instead.
