Xbox One will capture gameplay footage at 720p and 30 frames per second, Microsoft has confirmed.

Xbox corporate VP Marc Whitten explained the technology in an interview with IGN, stating that the console’s “game DVR captures beautiful clips at 720p 30fps.

“The first thing you’ll see with our game DVR is the integration of our Upload service on the console. This service allows you to manage, edit, and share your content. Your clips are stored in the cloud. Also, you’ll see games making ‘magic moment’ videos of your gameplay based on the game DVR functionality – all seamlessly integrated.”

Such moments will be automatically recorded by the console, with up to five minutes of continuous recording allowed.

“You’ll be able to see these clips in the Xbox One Guide, in your own game DVR collection, and when you are looking at gamercards on the system,” Whitten continued. “You’ll also see games take advantage of this platform capability and do interesting things to integrate captured game footage into the game experience itself.”

Whitten also explained the difference between gamerpics on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, revealing that users are now able to display “full-body HD gamerpics” on their profile.

“We’ve moved from the 64×64 gamerpics on Xbox 360 to a full 1080p,” he said. “They are beautiful, and you are going to see some really cool hero moments, like when you login to see personalized views of your games and other content.”

Xbox One launches this November.
