Elgato Game Capture HD60 X
A beginner-tier USB capture card and a clean console-streaming entry point for PS5, Xbox and Switch 2, doing 1080p60 HDR10 or 4K30 capture with 4K60 HDR passthrough — a sensible first capture device. Skip it if you need 4K60 recording, which is the domain of the 4K X or internal PCIe cards.
