The best way to record Cyberpunk gameplay videos and clips is using our two most recommended software. If you're playing Cyberpunk 2077 and would like to save your highlights, we recommend downloading Powder. It automatically captures your best moments and saves them for you. Our second recommendation is Gazoom, which combines PC software and a mobile app, automatically saving your highlights as clips that you can easily edit or share on your smartphone.

We believe that these two are the dominant software because they have all the essential game capture features for regular users and nerds, they are pretty easy to grasp, and they get the job of recording Cyberpunk 2077 done very efficiently.

Alternatively, you can record Cyberpunk 2077 clips and videos using one of two software that come with your graphic card - Nvidia GeForce Experience or AMD Radeon ReLive. Besides, you probably already have them installed on your PC, so you won’t have to look any further for gameplay-capturing software.

The Best Methods Of Recording Gameplay and Clips In Cyberpunk 2077

In our opinion, these are the best three methods of recording the Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay clips and videos. Our view is based on meticulous testing and inspecting all the significant game capture programs out there while taking into consideration that Cyberpunk 2077 is quite heavy on GPU and CPU.

Every recording software will take a certain percentage of the PC's power, so we wanted to ensure that our program selections won't impact the fluidity of both gameplay and streaming of Cyberpunk 2077.

Now, you'll discover how to use these programs and record Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay on Xbox and PlayStation as a bonus. Since we couldn't include all our favorites, we also made a list of honorable mentions at the bottom of this article.

So let's move on and see what software choices for recording the Cyberpunk 2077 we made.

Method #1: Nvidia GeForce Experience

To record Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay using the Nvidia GeForce Experience, follow these steps:

1. Visit the Nvidia official website and download the most recent version of the GeForce Experience.
2. Once you install it, the program will automatically run. Select the settings cog icon near your username.
3. Enable the "In-game overlay" by ticking the gray button.
4. Click the "Settings" option under the "In-game overlay" tab.

From there, you'll be able to modify things such as the default video folder, hotkeys, audio and video settings, and much more. Since these settings are already configured based on your graphic card's power, you won't have to make any audio/video adjustments here.

If you still decide on doing so, you'll be able to change bit rate, frame rate, resolution, video quality, etc.

To record Cyberpunk 2077 using the GeForce Experience, press down the Alt + F9 for manual video recording or Alt + F10 for clip recording, or select the "Record" option from the overlay.

You'll find your Cyberpunk 2077 videos recorded using this program in the C:\Users\<Username>\Videos folder.

Method #2: Radeon ReLive

This is how you can record Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay using the Radeon ReLive:

1. Download the latest version of the Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition from the official source. After installing the program, you'll need to restart your PC.
2. Open the AMD Radeon settings and click on the "ReLive" tab.
3. Enable this function by ticking the button.

You'll now be able to modify various options, and some of them aren't included in the other game recording programs. For instance, encoding type, audio channels, or even the instant GIF option are only found in the AMD Radeon ReLive, which makes this program a cut above the others.

Once you're ready to record Cyberpunk 2077 using the Radeon ReLive, press down the Ctrl + Shift + R simultaneously.

You'll find the Cyberpunk 2077 videos and clips recorded with this program in the C:\Users\<Username>\Videos\Radeon ReLive folder.

Method #3: Open Broadcaster Software

Finally, the best choice if you want to stream your content on Twitch or Youtube. Here's how you can record Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay using OBS:

1. Make sure to download the newest version of the OBS from the official source, and after installing and running the program, you'll be greeted with the auto-configuration wizard prompt. We strongly advise you to set things up using the auto-configuration wizard because otherwise, you'll need to configure everything manually.
2. Once you're in the main menu of the OBS, select the + icon under the "Sources" tab.
3. Click on the "Game Capture" and type down anything you want, then confirm it.

If you decided not to follow our earlier advice and skipped the auto-configuration wizard, you'll have to change all the settings by clicking the "File" and then "Settings."

You'll find the audio/video, hotkey, default video folder, and many other settings that you can modify.

Once you're in the Cyberpunk 2077, press the OBS keyboard hotkey to begin recording the gameplay videos or clips, but make sure you configure the hotkey first.

Alternatively, you may choose the "Start Recording" from the main menu of OBS, but that means you would have to Alt + Tab, which is not recommended.

To find the Cyberpunk 2077 videos and clips recorded via OBS, head to the C:\Users\<Username>\Videos folder.
