GameHQ 0.5.55 - First Public Release
GameHQ 0.5.55 is the first public release of a controller-first capture experience for Windows.
What you can do
- Take instant PNG or JPEG screenshots, organized automatically by game.
- Keep a configurable rolling H.264 replay buffer and save recent gameplay as MP4 clips with system audio.
- Browse, play, favorite, reveal, and delete captures from the desktop gallery or in-game overlay.
- Use DualSense, XInput, WinMM, keyboard, or safe extra mouse-button controls.
- Rebind actions with primary and secondary slots, tap/hold/double-tap gestures, conflict handling, controller profiles, and restore controls.
- Import existing capture folders from Steam, Xbox Game Bar, NVIDIA, OBS, and other tools without modifying their files.
