Valve has announced a new built-in recording system for Steam that will allow players to easily replay, clip, and share moments from their favorite games. It's a nice alternative to the third-party solutions that have been circulation for years, and it even works on Steam Deck.

According to Valve, the new system will work with any game and is engineer with performance in mind. It includes numerous options for customizing disk usage, and allows players to either send a clip to the device of their choice or export it as an mp4 file.

In addition, Valve confirmed that the system is Steam Deck verified, meaning players will no longer have to use apps like Decky Recorder to capture clips.

Those who want to try out the new system can opt to join the beta by accessing Settings, going to Interface, and choosing either beta option in the Beta Participation menu. After that, you can select Background or On Demand recording form the Game Recording menu under Settings.

Earlier today, Valve also revealed a host of stats around controller usage on the platform, including that 59 percent of players use an Xbox controller. In the meantime, a game about clicking a banana remains one of Steam's most popular games.
