为什么不通过记录您的游戏玩法与朋友分享您史诗般的游戏时刻？您甚至可能会发现对创建游戏内容的热爱并最终成为一名流媒体。
PC 与主机游戏(PC vs. console gaming)的争论几乎与游戏本身一样古老，但 PC 游戏仍然很受欢迎。您可以在新 PC 上玩 Windows 95 游戏进行(playing Windows 95 games on a new PC)怀旧之旅。借助Steam(Steam)和GoG等平台，您可以选择大量价格实惠的游戏，还可以制作专业游戏 YouTube 视频(create pro gaming YouTube videos)。这些只是让 PC 游戏如此受欢迎的一些例子，但您可能不需要任何说服力。这就是你在这里的原因。
1.Xbox游戏栏
您的Windows 11 PC 附带一个名为Xbox Game Bar的简单游戏录制工具。尽管有Xbox品牌，但此功能在您的游戏 PC 上运行良好，可让您以 1080p 分辨率和 60 FPS录制游戏。此外，您可以将视频质量更改为 720p 和 30fps。
该应用程序易于使用且完全免费，但功能有所限制。它只是一个基本的录制工具，没有专业的视频编辑和后期处理选项。它适合与您的朋友创建和分享游戏画面，但您需要在其他地方寻找更高级的视频录制软件。
价格：(Price:)免费
2. 英伟达影子游戏
如果您有一台配备Nvidia GPU的 PC ，您可以访问内置的视频录制软件。GeForce Experience不仅用于更新驱动程序和维护整洁的游戏库。它带有Nvidia Shadowplay。

3. Radeon 重温
AMD创建了自己的免费游戏录制软件，就像Nvidia一样。所以如果你有AMD显卡，你可以使用Radeon ReLive。原理与 NVIDIA 的Shadowplay相同。它使用GPU而不是CPU进行录制，并且可以录制高达 4K 的分辨率。
它甚至可以很好地处理视频放大，即使您拥有 1080 显示器，也可以录制 4K 的素材。唯一的缺点是缺少专用录音工具中的功能。

5.OBS工作室(OBS Studio)
Open Broadcaster Software，简称OBS，是一个免费的开源视频录制工具，包括流媒体功能。如果您想要一些免费的高级功能，这是录制 PC 游戏玩法的最佳方式之一。
OBS Studio是一款专业的截屏工具，尽管是免费的。这意味着它还带有学习曲线，因此它不像上面的程序那样简单易用。它不是最用户友好的选项的主要原因是设置和功能的数量以及用户界面。
也就是说，您可以完全控制录制的内容和方式。如果您对默认功能和设置感到厌烦，您可以下载众多插件之一，以提升您的体验。最重要的是，它还可以让您将独特的水印添加到视频中，这通常是其他专业游戏录制工具的一项高级功能。
价格：(Price: )免费
行动(Action)！由Mirillis开发的一款专业的游戏录制软件，具有多种功能。除了现代、用户友好的界面、流媒体功能和 4K 录制，Action！提供绿屏(Greenscreen)模式和 Time-Shift 功能，为您提供更多游戏捕捉选项。

Time-Shift功能可能是游戏录制中最酷的补充。你有(Did)没有在你最喜欢的游戏中经历过真正史诗般的时刻并希望你记录下来？好吧(Well)，现在您不会再错过那些时刻了，因为Time-Shift可以让您返回并捕捉 10 分钟前发生的一切。唯一的缺点是在这种情况下您只能进行高清录制。

9 Ways to Record Gameplay On Your PC
Why not share your epic gaming moments with friends bу recording your gameplay? You might even discover a love for creating gаmеplay cоntent and end up becomіng a streamer.
The PC vs. console gaming debate is almost as old as gaming itself, but PC gaming remains popular. You can go on a nostalgia trip playing Windows 95 games on a new PC. You have a massive selection of affordable games thanks to platforms like Steam and GoG, and you can create pro gaming YouTube videos. These are just some examples that keep PC gaming in such high graces, but you probably don’t need any convincing. That’s why you’re here.
1. Xbox Game Bar
Your Windows 11 PC comes with a simple gameplay recording tool called Xbox Game Bar. Despite the Xbox branding, this feature works great on your gaming PC and lets you record gameplay at 1080p resolution and 60 FPS. Also, you can change the video quality to 720p and 30fps.
The app is easy to use and completely free, but it’s somewhat limited in features. It’s just a basic recording tool without professional video editing and post-processing options. It’s suitable for creating and sharing gameplay footage with your friends, but you’ll need to look elsewhere for more advanced video recording software.
Price: Free
2. Nvidia Shadowplay
If you have a PC with an Nvidia GPU, you have access to built-in video recording software. GeForce Experience isn’t just for updating your drivers and maintaining a tidy library of games. It comes with Nvidia Shadowplay.
Shadowplay lets you record your gameplay footage at your monitor’s native resolution. Just press the record button. If you have an HD monitor, it will record at 1080p, and if you have a 4K monitor, it will record at 4K. It’s straightforward and beginner-friendly, plus you can use it to stream your content as well. Additionally, it relies on your GPU, so your CPU will have more resources available for the game and other processes.

3. Radeon ReLive
AMD created its own free game recording software, just like Nvidia. So if you have an AMD graphics card, you can use Radeon ReLive. The principle is the same as with NVIDIA’s Shadowplay. It uses the GPU for recording instead of the CPU, and it can record up to 4K resolution.
It even handles video upscaling well, allowing you to record footage at 4K despite having a 1080 monitor. The only downside is the lack of features you find in a dedicated recording tool.
Price: Free
Bandicam is one of the best game recording apps out there. It’s been used for many years by beginners and professionals alike. It’s not free, but there is a trial available, so you can decide if it’s the right screen recorder for you.
With a one-time license purchase of $39.95, you get a dedicated video recording tool. Bandicam records at high frame rates and 4K resolution, but it gives you a lot of control over the quality of the video. It includes compression features that let you reduce the file size without affecting the quality too much. It’s more than just a gameplay footage recorder. It’s a great overall screen capture tool.
Bandicam allows you to resize the screen capture area however you want. You can use it for activities other than gaming. It even comes with “around the mouse” recording mode, so you can track your cursor while recording a tutorial or an instructional video. Overall, Bandicam remains one of the top screen capture tools for PC gaming and general use.
Price: Free with watermark and limited recording time. $39.95 for the full version.
Open Broadcaster Software, or OBS for short, is a free open source video recording tool that includes streaming capabilities. It’s one of the best ways to record PC gameplay if you want some premium features for free.
OBS Studio is a professional screen capture tool, despite being free. That means it also comes with a learning curve, so it’s not as straightforward to use as the programs above. The main reason why it’s not the most user-friendly option is because of the number of settings and features, as well as the UI.
That said, you have complete control over what you’re recording and how. And if you get bored of the default features and settings, you can download one of the many plugins that will boost your experience. As the cherry on top, it also lets you add your unique watermark to the video, which is usually a premium feature with other professional gameplay recording tools.
Price: Free
Action! developed by Mirillis is a professional gameplay recording software with many features. In addition to the modern, user-friendly interface, streaming capability, and 4K recording, Action! offers Greenscreen mode and the Time-Shift feature to give you more gameplay capture options.
As you probably guessed, Greenscreen mode will automatically remove the background while you record. But what makes it interesting is that it works well with any color as long as it’s solid and even. You don’t necessarily have to buy an actual green screen. All you need is a camera or even a webcam, and the recording software will do the rest.
The Time-Shift feature is probably the coolest addition to gameplay recording. Did you ever experience a truly epic moment in your favorite game and wished you recorded it? Well, now you won’t miss those moments anymore because Time-Shift will let you go back and capture everything that happened up to 10 minutes ago. The only downside is that you’re limited to HD recording in this case.
Price: Free 30-day trial and $29.95 for a lifetime license
Movavi Screen Recorder is an easy-to-use modern screen capturing software. It supports up to 4K screen resolution, it can record a specific part of your screen, and you can choose if you want to record audio simultaneously or separately. Additionally, you can make your mouse clicks and keystrokes visible and even draw directly on the video.
That said, Movavi Screen Recorder is an excellent choice for recording gameplay because of the many post-processing options you get. You can instantly convert your video into a GIF, you can cut and combine videos without any video-editing experience, and you can add a wide variety of special effects, including animated text. And if that’s not enough, Movavi has an effects store where you can buy packs of unique transitions, sock videos, gradients, and even YouTube packs.
Price: Free with a watermark or $44.95 for a 1-year license
If you want an easy-to-use gameplay recorder without spending time customizing any features or playing with the video editor, D3DGear might be the right tool for you. Install it and record your PC gameplay. That’s pretty much it. D3DGear will automatically detect your game, so you just need to hit the record key without fiddling with the settings.
The user interface looks somewhat outdated, you don’t get any cool post-processing options, and there are barely any features to play with. That said, D3DGear does its job by recording video and compressing it in real-time. It saves a lot of room on your hard drive, and it also relies on GPU acceleration not to put any strain on your CPU.
Price: Free 15-day trial and $29.85 for the full version
Fraps is a blast from the past that is still alive and kicking. It’s one of the best game recording tools for Windows because it’s a straightforward program that has stood the test of time. If you played World of Warcraft at its peak, you already know about Fraps because it was used to capture so many epic moments.
That said, Fraps is a simple game recording software without any bells and whistles. Its user interface looks outdated, and it doesn’t have any cool features. Like D3DGear, its job is to record gameplay and take screenshots. Also, you can record your voice or audio separately to add it later to the gameplay video. The only major downside is that it lacks video compression.
Price: Free with watermark and record time-limited or $37 lifetime license
