Xbox One Records Five Minutes of Gameplay Compared to PS4’s 15

July 22, 2013 by Stephen Daly

The console can grab the last 30 seconds of gameplay if you can’t pause.

The Xbox One will allow users to automatically record up to five mintues of gameplay compared to the 15 minutes which PS4 owners will be able to store on their console.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Neil Brown announced at the Develop Conference that while PS4 owners can record and edit 15 minutes of footage the final amount may only be seven minutes – which is still two more than on Xbox One.

Microsoft Studios' creative director Ken Lobb revealed the limit to Gamespot during a demo of Killer Instinct at Comic-Con last week.  

"The idea is you're always recording," said Lobb regarding the Xbox One's game DVR feature which has been codenamed 'Project Upload'. "The last five mintues of any game you're playing are always being stored on your hard drive."

As with the PS4, you'll be able to edit footage on the fly, add titles, a voice-over or extra footage recorded by the Kinect sensor. When you can't stop playing (during an online session for instance), you'll be able to capture and immediately save the last 30 seconds of gameplay for later editing. 

Lobb explaned "Say you're playing online and you just did the best thing ever – you can't pause as you're playing online," but "You can say 'Xbox: record that' and it'll grab the last 30 seconds of gameplay for you to play around with later."

Both next-gen consoles will enable users to stream gameplay online so unlimited amounts of gameplay should be easy to capture. However, those looking for a way to edit chunks of gameplay can presumably rip the online version of the stream and edit it on PC.
