How to record gameplay clips on PS5
Save a moment that just happened, or record the next one. You can start with your controller.
No. PS5 has built-in gameplay recording. Use the DualSense Create button, then choose a recent clip or start a new recording. This guide covers console controls; it is not a test of GTA 6 capture behaviour.
How do I save recent gameplay on PS5?
Press Create on your controller and choose the recent-gameplay option. Select the part you want to keep. This is useful when something unexpected happens before you think to record it.
How do I start a new recording?
Open the Create menu and start a recording before the action. Return to that menu to stop it when you are finished. Try this in a game you already own so you know where the saved clip appears.
Where are the capture settings?
Open Settings, then Captures and Broadcasts. Review video format, resolution, Create button shortcuts and audio choices. Some scenes may block recording. Ask other players before including their voice chat.
How do I prepare a clip to share?
Find the recording in Media Gallery and trim it around the event. Keep enough context for a viewer to understand what happened, but remove menu time and long pauses. Watch the finished version once with sound, and check it does not expose private chat or personal information.
For PS App transfer, check the current supported formats and upload rules. For console trimming and sharing, follow PlayStation’s sharing guide.
My clip is missing sound. Should I buy new hardware?
Check the recording and audio options first, then make a short test. A microphone, party chat and in-game sound are different sources; a capture card is not a universal fix for an unchecked audio setting.
Before sending a clip to Wasted Leonida
- Keep the original recording and its source URL.
- Choose the creator name you want credited.
- Flag story spoilers before someone starts watching.
- Only submit material you created or have permission to share.
The clip submission page currently downloads a draft locally. It does not send your recording to us.
