Despite being a great option for the Switch’s modest output, the HD60 S+ produces some of the highest quality content across any platform. The HD60 S+ is also a fantastic choice for Switch streamers who see themselves streaming from more graphically intensive devices in the future. The streamlined interface makes recording footage as simple as pressing a button. Elgato’s companion app is a straightforward tool for recording gameplay and adjusting the device settings. Once connected, you can go ahead and open the Elgato application. Connecting capture cards to the Switch is simple and only requires three cable connections, allowing users to get up and running in no time. Boasting 1080p capture at 60 frames per second (fps), this device matches the Switch’s standard 1080p output.

It is quick to set up and able to capture the highest quality the Switch offers.

Despite the rise of 4K capture cards, these aren’t necessary as the Switch only outputs 1080p resolution. The Nintendo Switch is capable of using most capture cards thanks to the HDMI port on the console. Fortunately, multiple high-quality devices allow you to stream your gameplay to the masses. With no native recorder or live streaming utility on the console, using a capture card is still the only way to share your gameplay on Nintendo Switch.
