Elgato, the content creator tech brand under Corsair, has officially launched the Game Capture 4K S — a next-gen external capture card designed to meet the evolving demands of professional streamers and creators across platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.

Priced at $159.99, the plug-and-play device supports cinematic 4K60 real-time capture, ultra-low latency (as low as 30ms), and is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and iPadOS. Elgato’s latest release positions itself as a versatile tool for streaming from PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and even the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Built for the Modern Creator Economy

The 4K S is more than just a spec bump. It builds upon Elgato’s top-selling HD60 X and introduces key enhancements:

• 4K60 zero-lag passthrough, HDR10 capture support (up to 1080p60), and VRR for smoother gameplay.

• High frame rate recording, including 1440p at 120fps and 1080p at 240fps — ideal for competitive and cinematic streamers alike.

• USB-C connectivity and UVC compliance, ensuring seamless operation with OBS, Streamlabs, Zoom, and TikTok Live Studio.

The device also arrives alongside the new Elgato Studio app, offering tools for creators like low-latency previews, a snapshot tool for social media thumbnails, and minimal system resource use — key for mobile creators working with iPads.

Executive Insight

“Our new 4K S is a game-changer for both professional and aspiring content creators,” said Thi La, CEO of Corsair. “With cinematic 4K60 capture, ultra-low latency preview, and support for high frame rates, it delivers the visual fidelity today’s streamers demand. Its plug-and-play compatibility and ecosystem integration make it one of the most versatile solutions available.”

A Legacy of Innovation

Elgato has long held a leadership position in creator-focused tech. Since releasing the first capture card made for gamers in 2012, the company has expanded its portfolio to include microphones, studio lighting, and modular control systems. The launch of 4K S marks another step in Elgato’s mission to empower creators and streamline their content pipelines.

Backed by Corsair’s global infrastructure and R&D capabilities, Elgato continues to capitalize on the booming creator economy — a market projected to exceed $480 billion by 2027, driven by Gen Z’s preference for user-generated video content.
