Users can screen record Apple Arcade gameplay in iOS 15

Users can now record 15-second snippets of gameplay from Apple Arcade and other games using the upcoming versions of iOS, macOS, and iPadOS when they have a third-party game controller connected to their device.

When users long press a designated button on the controllers, Apple will automatically capture 15 seconds of gameplay and save it to the userโ€™s camera roll so they can share it with friends, on social media, or YouTube.

Rather than having to start and stop a screen recording when playing a game, users on iPhone, iPad, and Mac can capture a highlight โ€“ for example, if they win a boss battle or open a rare treasure chest โ€“ and have the content saved to their devices immediately.

On the Xbox Series X/S controller, for example, thereโ€™s a dedicated Share button, which will automatically save content.

Itโ€™s good to see Apple further investing in its Apple Arcade service and gaming on iOS and macOS, and we canโ€™t wait to see what else has been added when we delve deeper into the new iOS 15 beta.
