Elgato and Twitch jointly announced the Elgato X Twitch Streaming Kit, targeting streamers preparing to create GTA VI content on consoles. The bundle includes the Elgato Game Capture 4K X capture card and the Corsair MP600 Elite PS5 SSD. Active Twitch Partners and Affiliates can enjoy a 10% discount.
Specifically, the original price for the 1TB SSD and capture card bundle was $554.98, with eligible users paying $499.99 after the discount. The 2TB version is priced at $694.98 for general consumers, dropping to approximately $625 with the Twitch offer.
The capture card included in the bundle sells separately for $249.99 and supports 4K/144fps capture and passthrough. Elgato stated that this collaboration aims to lower the barrier for players transitioning from console gaming to live content creation.
A GamesRadar author argued that if you're buying this setup solely for GTA VI, it might be overkill. The game will run at 30 fps, while Twitch and YouTube streaming are capped at 4K/60fps, meaning some of the capture card's capabilities may go underutilized.
The author also noted that external capture cards save recordings directly to the PC, so purchasing high-end internal PS5 storage may not be necessary. The suggestion to "find a more cost-effective combination" is the author's personal buying advice, not an official conclusion from the manufacturer regarding the bundle's performance or price.
