DX12 Capture Support is Now Available

More and more games are coming out with DX12 support and the XSplit community has been making it clear that we need it in XSplit as soon as possible. Well, we’re happy to announce that we now have support for DX12 capture in XSplit 2.9 beta – if you’re a daredevil and you love testing bleeding edge streaming features then give us a hand by trying it out and reporting any issues you come across.

Popular DX12 games such as Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4, Battlefield 1, to name a few, can currently only be captured through screen capture if running in DX12 mode. With DX12 game capture support, you will now be able to capture these games with  XSplit.

Download and try out XSplit Broadcaster and Gamecaster 2.9 beta with DX12 support through the links below

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback on this release and if you find any bugs or come across any other issues you can comment below or create a support ticket at xsplit.com/support. Enjoy, and let us know if Vulkan support should be next!

DISCLAIMER: This is a beta version of XSplit 2.9 and not recommended for production. This product contains several new features, improvement and fixes, but has not yet been fully quality tested, so please don’t shout at us if it’s not perfect ;-).

XSplit is ALL OUT for Extra Life 2016

It’s the season of Extra Life and we here at XSplit are once again throwing all out support for this charity gaming marathon by providing everything you need to start raising money for the event. This is the fourth straight year that we’re supporting Extra Life because we have every reason to!

XSplit Supports Extra Life Play Games Heal Kids

Raise only $10 & get XSplit Premium for FREE

We received some really good feedback last year when we lowered the threshold to $10 from $25 two years ago. This year will be the same again. If you raise $10 or more, you will automatically get a 3-month XSplit Premium for FREE.

Our aim is for Extra Life to continue breaking records and we know continuing with a lower threshold is a step in the right direction for us to help achieve their goal.

XSplit team to play & participate

The folks behind the best live streaming software in the world can’t just be the folks behind XSplit. We play games too! In case you missed it, some of our HQ staff participated last year by playing and streaming games ignoring how introverted and camera-shy they are!

It’s gonna be more fantastic this year as our team has grown and have added a little bit of star power which translates to having more staff involved and more time to play games and stream! This is the perfect opportunity for you to see us in action!

Our own gaming marathon will be live streamed on our Twitch channel at twitch.tv/xsplit on the actual game day, November 5 2016.
