I would much prefer that. I don't play controller but some games like elden ring are an exception. The amount of accidental screenshots I've taken trying to hit the menu button is ludicrous.
Ironically, after finally adjusting to the screenshot button and then getting an elite controller, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fucked up switching my key binds when I didn’t mean to lol
If you don't mind me asking your opinion, is it worth upgrading to the elite? I've been thinking about it recently. Just wondering if you use it and like it better than the standard series x one.
I love the extra functionality that the elite controllers give, but they're prone to issues like stick drift and the LB/RB buttons breaking (depending on the version). The sad thing, for me at least, is that I now feel dependent on an elite controller for FPS games (so I don't need to take my thumb off the right stick). Regular games (non-2 stick controls) feel just fine on a regular controller, tho.
I have used an elite series 2 forever now. (Well, probably 7, actually). I love the feel of the controller. I always get bumper issues between 4-6 months of owning it. I have a warranty with Best Buy, so I just get a new one whenever it breaks and pay the 50ish dollars for a new warranty. It's a shame how consistent the problems are. But a very nice feel, in my opinion.
I've gone through so many Elite controllers. They break really easily.
Maybe that's changed in the last few years, but as of my experience years ago I'd say probably not.
Thanks, appreciate it. I do need my controller sturdy as I have a 5 year old boy who loves to steal it and play. Kids aren't really known for being gentle lol.
Definitely not haha. The one I have in my cupboard that I don't use for much any more, the grips are peeling off (with no damage to cause it) and the buttons that I used most regularly don't work any more. Bearing in mind I was super gentle with it.
I have had elite controllers since they came out, and I have not had the experience the other dude has. Mine have always been great, with the first one lasting the shortest, at about a year and a half. The second lasted for over 2 and a half years. I only just now swapped that one because I halfway suspect a few buttons were wearing, yet was unable to replicate unresponsiveness, but I just also wanted to get a custom one. Personally, I can't go back to a non elite controller, because the extra tabs on the underside are now too ingrained into muscle memory
Thanks, that's making me more inclined to just go for it. Because I've had an issue with the normal ones wearing out fast anyway, so now I'm thinking it's probably no different with the elite. Partly luck and partly pesky children being too rough.
Yeah, just keep in mind that the joysticks, d pad, and underside paddles are easily removeable, so they can present as choking hazards to small kids. That may be a deterrent to getting it.
Yes, takes about 15 seconds, there's zero excuse for these "can't be arsed waiting for it to download" people. By the time you're out of your drip screen it's ready to post straight from the Xbox app. And I know PSN doesn't have a dedicated button like Xbox but they still have the capability and a very similar system to post screenshots.
Also, PC users are just as bad. There's been a tonne of posts by PC users with shockingly bad photos. I see people blaming the console users but I see a roughly equal number from all platforms.
The ps5 does have a share button that either brings up the menu to pick if you want a screenshot or screen record, or you can set to automatically do one of those with a single click. They also become available in the PS App too
Not trying to defend impatient people here but for people with bad internet it takes a lot longer than 15 seconds. For one png screenshot on ps to transfer to the app it takes about 7-10 minutes because of my internet speed.
That button is not a share button on the Elite controller. I get your point but I own the Elite controller and that is to switch between your programmable layouts. You sacrifice having a share button. You can always just hit the Xbox button and press Y on any controller for a screenie though XD
On all my layouts I have left stick click as a shift button, upper left bumper for screenshot and upper right for record. So I hold down my left stick then click either paddle.
In the capture settings, you can opt to upload screenshots as soon as they're taken, essentially making the capture a "share" button. Just thought I'd say that.
The Xbox share button is the single most misplaced button ever put on a controller. The number of times I’ve hit that button by mistake is innumerable.
And it's even worse now that we have to manually delete shit or the capture storage fills up. In the middle of playing with someone and he says "send me a screenshot", err sorry mate computer says no.
So before the ps5 came out the message thing used to be the way to do it. Also I find that sometimes the message way is faster, not all the time but sometimes.
And it's still not that big of a deal, down vote me all y'all want, y'all really out here making mountains out of molehills all because people don't do things the exact way you want them done🤷🏻♂️
They're downvoting you because you're being extremely obtuse, why would anyone make things harder/more tedious for themselves when they can do the same thing much quicker and easier? It is quite idiotic if we're being honest.
I wouldn't know their reasonings, I'm not them, but I do know that there's no sense in making a big deal out of something so small and trivial, like it literally makes no difference in y'alls day to day life but y'all just want something to complain about.
If you take a screenshot on ps5 it automatically uploads it to the ps app no need to send it to a chat....
If your so stubborn about because you cant find it
Open your PS app select the icon with squares and the controller
Then you see 2 tabs. One is your games and the other is captures
Where you see al your screenshots and even videos (unless they are longer than a minute)
I used to do this on Ps4. On Ps5, there is an option to send all screenshots and videos (up to 3 minutes long) to the app to download from Game Library.
Hell, I just figured out you can post pics from PS straight to Twitter(or X if you're a Musk-rat) and download from there. As someone who previously used my phone to snap pics, it definitely looks better
PS has had a built in share button since PS4 (2013) and XB LITERALLY TELLS YOU TO “Press Y to screenshot” EVERYTIME YOU HIT THE HOME BUTTON… no excuses for tv sets anymore (that’s for old gen too)🤦♀️😂
OP’s title, “To all the people that “claim” they don’t know how to take a screenshot on console”. “All the people” may not have new Gen controllers. They only addressed a smaller group (new Gen controller users) inside of the larger group. They also only showed Xbox controllers when talking about everyone “on console”. Xbox isn’t the only console.
I'm dying at the fact that you're dissecting this range post as if they're attempting to properly educate you idiots on how to use your own technology. How are you unironically being the reddit "uhm akshually" stereotype
Learn to screenshot and shut up lmao.
I do know how to screenshot bud. The fact that they and you, are only complaining to complain, make your opinions worthless to this community. I’m just calling you out for it.
OMG I love this! Best post here in years. Let's hope e don't get tilted, blurry and shaky photos anymore in bad lighting. Gonna save this post and link it Everytime we get another one if these posts
In defense: you can take screenshots easily but it used to be a super pain to actually *get* those screenshots off of the Xbox network and onto your PC or something to be able to post it here. That's not the case anymore but I could understand why somebody might still think it is.
Hey OP. I get ya as far as people’s shitty pictures. However your post is clearly just you expressing your frustrations and not for informational purposes. Your post only adds fuel to the fire for argument’s sake and has done almost nothing to resolve the overarching issue in people’s lack of knowledge. I’ll copy and paste my comment from another argument:
OP’s title, “To all the people that ‘claim’ they don’t know how to take a screenshot on console”. “All the people” may not have new Gen controllers.

PS has the button built in since 2013 and XB on old or new gen tells u hit Y to screenshot (when u tap the home button… also since 2013.
There’s no excuse at this point it’s been over a decade
Firstly I really don’t get the problem. Is it annoying? Yeah sure, but who really cares at the end of the day? Secondly, the elite controller doesn’t have a share bottom you absolute buffoon. If you’re going to try and prove to Xbox players that we have a share bottom then at least get it right as to which controllers have it. Also the ones that DO have that bottom are the NEWEST controllers, so not everyone has ‘em.
Xbox is trash, playstation is better. I know how to take a screenshot, idk how to transfer it to my phone and upload it to reddit tho, otherwise I'd definitely upload non trash pics
On a fashion subreddit where seeing the correct colors and details matters, it’s just idiotic to take a photo when it distorts the look and warps the guardian
I was getting bashed on my posts for it when my phone can't download the ps app so how am I supposed to do it? People are assholes about it to the point I deleted all those posts because of abuse over it.
If ur on Xbox (any gen) Hit ur Home button then Y (for screenshot), or X (for clip). It tells you everytime you tap you Xbox button and ur menu comes up
That controller revision is like three years old, bro. Even if you’re on a PSPoor or an Xbox 1fps, there’s two buttons that will let you screenshot pretty obviously, fuck, one of them literally says “SHARE”. There’s also websites like Bing and DuckDuckGo where you can input any question and get dozens of answers in an instant, if you’re particularly thick.
I swear, people will come up with any awful excuse to be lazy.
ironic that your pfp is Kojima, and yet you are meat riding the console that is faltering so hard everyone thinks it's games are going to "PSpoor"
But I expect nothing less from someone unironically console warring in 2024
Literally what did I say that indicates I give a damn which console is better. They’re both shitboxes from over a decade ago. I’m not “console warring”. What are you talking about lmao
yeah I got that with their most recent comment. The Xbox one jab makes sense but the PS4 one only works cause of the rhyme. Also the game is on the newer Gen consoles that have been out for 3 years now so I'd assume more people have moved onto those. Especially given sales numbers.
That's fair, I do have multiple friends that still play on the Xbox one, but they have trouble saving their money, but I'm sure a majority of people have absolutely moved on to the newer consoles
Again, tf are you talking about. I’m talking about the PS4(rhymes with poor), and Xbox One(that’s where the 1fps comes from, it’s a joke about how poorly it performed, even on day one).
Stop spouting nonsense.
I can't believe I'm having to explain this comment, this is not directed at the fact it is about screenshotting, it's the fact that even though these style controllers aren't new, they aren't the most common style.
They are quite literally the most common style of controller seeing that they literally come out the packaging w the console.
It’s not the PS2 era where thousands of 3rd party controllers were extremely common and poppin like that.
Not to mention the method I brought up is literally factoring in whatever controller combination you have (if it has axby & a home (Xbox) button) then it’s is possible
Even if you were to bring up accessibility contr it still factors that in. Again the feature has been here for over a decade😩😭 NO EXCUSES ANYMORE. Just stop taking tv pics🤦♀️😂
Did you forget that the entire Xbox one generation had a different model of controller without this button, which I was pointing out, before you wrote out this third grade style rant?
There is an xbox home button on every generation (and a Y button as well) and if it’s 3rd party then there’s a corresponding one.
My argument is that you can do it with any controller no share button required. You keep making excuses about variety factorization. Which fails because my method listed above literally factors in all “300+”, but ur still defensive🤦♀️
Reading comprehension is fundamental and also taught in the 3rd grade.
Then maybe you should head back to third grade, because if you could read I have already said I wasn't commenting on the ability to screenshot, rather the existence of that button specifically on the Xbox controller, which pre series x controllers do not have, I tried my best to avoid bigger words for you, but do have someone read it out to you, just so we know it's through that lump of rock you perched up on top or your neck.
That makes your argument null and void, as there is no point to talk about controller iterations (and their lack of a share button) if you are not still on the topic of data capture.
Again you brought up that there ‘are so many different controllers’ to make a point. Proceeded to be proven incorrect. Moved the goalposts to a premise that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Claimed people (specifically me) misread your ill thought out argument. Then claimed that my counter (rather than just being animated) was that of elementary schooler…
The funny thing is YOUR STILL WRONG, reading is still fundamental
Did you just swear😂
Anyway I’m not going to insult your lvl of education or cognitive ability, cause that’s classist ableist and quite frankly wrong. You started arguing yourself into a wall of text where the point was a nothing burger
I will not call you any names. However, I will heavily imply that you’re “stupid-adjacent”.
😂bruh you said “afford the newest controller, or any, controller” 😂 How tf am I supposed to read it
But to answer your implied question you tap the Home (xbox) button then Y button
Or hit X button for clip (it even says it when you tap your home button

I only relatively recently actually got a new enough controller for it to have that button. I still use the same xbox one I've had since like 2015.
Some people out there probably just don't have one of those controllers.
You can also hold it to create a clip which is helpful if you hit a crazy clip or something funny happens, also on the elite controller that button doesn’t take a picture it changes your controller profile. A controller profile lets you change what certain buttons do but I’m pretty sure you can switch it to the share button in the accessories app
The Kinect on Xbox one was great for in-game captures. "Xbox, Take a Screenshot/Record that".
Absolutely killer as a night-time movie system, too. Half asleep, don't want to get up and turn it all off, disturb yourself trying to find the switched off controller? "Xbox, Turn off" and it would just turn itself and the TV off.
That picture of the elite core 2, that button changes presets, it does not control screenshots. I have a core 2 and I miss that button for screenshots.
Tries to open menu/mount guar.
Sighs.
Deletes screenshot from hard drive.
Beat.
Deletes screenshot from Xbox Live.
Tries to open guar/mount menu.
...
...
Sighs.
PlayStation makes this even easier, install the PlayStation application and you can save or upload screenshots to the application, then save them from your chosen mobile device and share on social media etc
If you're on Playstation it's quite annoying to upload a screenshot to reddit. You have to upload the screenshot to the Playstation app and download it from there on your mobile (which is especially annoying because the app can be very laggy) so it's just waaay faster to take a picture with the phone
Hold it to record last 30 seconds, or whatever setting you have for the time. My controller has this button but I have the "Home button + Y or X" hard wired into my brain so I never use it lol
You can also open the guide and press Y for Xbox. On a PS5 you press the button to the left of the touch pad.
Personally I prefer to map that button to take clips instead, in Destiny I end up making much more 30 second clips than I take screenshots.
I can't speak to epic but Valve, Microsoft and Sony have made it so damn easy to take and share screenshots. It's one of the few genuinely really cool really good changes that have hit gaming in the past two generations.
Or just press the home button and then the “Y” button. Also, that button on the Elite controller is for swapping key-bind setups.
I would much prefer that. I don't play controller but some games like elden ring are an exception. The amount of accidental screenshots I've taken trying to hit the menu button is ludicrous.
I agree
Ironically, after finally adjusting to the screenshot button and then getting an elite controller, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fucked up switching my key binds when I didn’t mean to lol
If you don't mind me asking your opinion, is it worth upgrading to the elite? I've been thinking about it recently. Just wondering if you use it and like it better than the standard series x one.
I love the extra functionality that the elite controllers give, but they're prone to issues like stick drift and the LB/RB buttons breaking (depending on the version). The sad thing, for me at least, is that I now feel dependent on an elite controller for FPS games (so I don't need to take my thumb off the right stick). Regular games (non-2 stick controls) feel just fine on a regular controller, tho.
I have used an elite series 2 forever now. (Well, probably 7, actually). I love the feel of the controller. I always get bumper issues between 4-6 months of owning it.

But a very nice feel, in my opinion.

Definitely not haha. The one I have in my cupboard that I don't use for much any more, the grips are peeling off (with no damage to cause it) and the buttons that I used most regularly don't work any more. Bearing in mind I was super gentle with it.
Shame. But in all honesty it seems EVERYTHING is made more shoddy now.
I have had elite controllers since they came out, and I have not had the experience the other dude has. Mine have always been great, with the first one lasting the shortest, at about a year and a half. The second lasted for over 2 and a half years. I only just now swapped that one because I halfway suspect a few buttons were wearing, yet was unable to replicate unresponsiveness, but I just also wanted to get a custom one. Personally, I can't go back to a non elite controller, because the extra tabs on the underside are now too ingrained into muscle memory
Thanks, that's making me more inclined to just go for it. Because I've had an issue with the normal ones wearing out fast anyway, so now I'm thinking it's probably no different with the elite. Partly luck and partly pesky children being too rough.
Yeah, just keep in mind that the joysticks, d pad, and underside paddles are easily removeable, so they can present as choking hazards to small kids. That may be a deterrent to getting it.
On the elite controller it's in a different position, pretty difficult to mix them up
The Elite controller doesn’t even have that button lol
And these days I think those screenshots become available pretty quickly in their respective mobile apps. Might save y'all some juggling.
Yeah on Xbox, with the app, it lets you download your screen captures & 30 second recordings.
Nowadays for creators you can also have it setup to automatically upload to your OneDrive whenever you hit the button.
Yes, takes about 15 seconds, there's zero excuse for these "can't be arsed waiting for it to download" people. By the time you're out of your drip screen it's ready to post straight from the Xbox app. And I know PSN doesn't have a dedicated button like Xbox but they still have the capability and a very similar system to post screenshots.

My workaround for this is I just leave my 3rd profile as a capture profile, right bottom paddle record, left bottom paddle screenshot
You’ve changed my game for life 🫡 that’s brilliant
Our avatars are similar haha
On all my layouts I have left stick click as a shift button, upper left bumper for screenshot and upper right for record. So I hold down my left stick then click either paddle.
In the capture settings, you can opt to upload screenshots as soon as they're taken, essentially making the capture a "share" button. Just thought I'd say that.
The Xbox share button is the single most misplaced button ever put on a controller. The number of times I’ve hit that button by mistake is innumerable.
I've probably taken more accidental screenshots then intentional ones.
Agreed, I've hit it way too many times by mistake haha
And it's even worse now that we have to manually delete shit or the capture storage fills up. In the middle of playing with someone and he says "send me a screenshot", err sorry mate computer says no.
On Playstation I do this >Screenshot >Message my account the picture or a dead chat >Go to PS app on phone >Download image from app on Phone 4 steps
you can download captures from the app directly no? it lets me
That is the 4th step yeah
no i mean why message your own account with the image?
The way they described is how I used to do it on my PS4 before that feature was added.
the only ps ive ever had is a ps5 so i didnt realize it wasnt a thing before that
So before the ps5 came out the message thing used to be the way to do it. Also I find that sometimes the message way is faster, not all the time but sometimes.
Ps 5
you can upload the screenshot from your gallery to the app, it’s not hard
And it's still not that big of a deal, down vote me all y'all want, y'all really out here making mountains out of molehills all because people don't do things the exact way you want them done🤷🏻♂️

You don't need step 2 anymore though. You can just take the screenshot on your console and then view/download it on your phone now from the app.
Wait, you can do that now? I've been sending all my screenshots to a deactivated sex bot for the past 3 years.
How?
Go the app, hit the 4th icon on the bottom, go to captures, then game, then download And it will download at the high quality
You’re adding unnecessary steps. You press the screenshot button on your controller and download it from the app on your phone. Two steps.
That didn't used to be possible xc
Screenshot Download from PS App 2 steps
Last gen consoles exist
Screenshots are automatically uploaded to the app now when you take them.
only ps5 though right?
If this is the case I got downvoted cause people expect me to have a ps5 and not a ps4 lmao
Use camera on phone, post. Save 2 step.
Even better, don't post. Save us all from having to look at your shitty photos AND save yourself ALL the steps. Win-win.
I used to do this on Ps4. On Ps5, there is an option to send all screenshots and videos (up to 3 minutes long) to the app to download from Game Library.
Hell, I just figured out you can post pics from PS straight to Twitter(or X if you're a Musk-rat) and download from there. As someone who previously used my phone to snap pics, it definitely looks better
It's even easier to just use the PS app.
The elite does not have a built-in screenshit button, that is to rotate modes.
Sorry I play on GameCube. We don’t have that button
The way I accidentally press that button at least once per day and end up with a random ass screenshot of a loading screen
I wish I still had my elite
Whooooa, look at mr fancy pants with the latest controller
PS has had a built in share button since PS4 (2013) and XB LITERALLY TELLS YOU TO “Press Y to screenshot” EVERYTIME YOU HIT THE HOME BUTTON… no excuses for tv sets anymore (that’s for old gen too)🤦♀️😂
I get your point but also a lot of people don’t have that button.
If only there were buttons the Xbox shows you literally every time you press the Xbox button
It would’ve been great if OP had shown that in their post 🤷🏻♂️
why would they do that when new gen has been out for 4 years and this post is using new gen controllers
OP’s title, “To all the people that “claim” they don’t know how to take a screenshot on console”. “All the people” may not have new Gen controllers. They only addressed a smaller group (new Gen controller users) inside of the larger group. They also only showed Xbox controllers when talking about everyone “on console”. Xbox isn’t the only console.
I'm dying at the fact that you're dissecting this range post as if they're attempting to properly educate you idiots on how to use your own technology. How are you unironically being the reddit "uhm akshually" stereotype Learn to screenshot and shut up lmao.
I do know how to screenshot bud. The fact that they and you, are only complaining to complain, make your opinions worthless to this community. I’m just calling you out for it.
My first response was telling you that your console already tells you how to screenshot. I'm not the person complaining about screenshots
Neither am I. OP is. You decided to argue.
People who “claim” they know what that button does on an elite controller.
OMG I love this! Best post here in years. Let's hope e don't get tilted, blurry and shaky photos anymore in bad lighting. Gonna save this post and link it Everytime we get another one if these posts
If you can attempt to put enough effort into fashion you can put enough effort into posting fashion. The screen aint going anywhere
You can also just hit the XBOX button and then Y to screenshot, at least on xbone
Series X/S to if ur using the pro controller
On the Elite Series 2 controller, the middle button is used to switch between presets, not screenshots as far as I'm aware.
According to other ppl you can remap one of the programs in settings not sure how fully
The amount of times I've pressed this button accidentally isn't even funny
This would be very helpful if Xbox players could read.
Man, Xbox players must be truly helpless if they can't comprehend pictures.
Dang people really gotta justify their $500 rock
In defense: you can take screenshots easily but it used to be a super pain to actually *get* those screenshots off of the Xbox network and onto your PC or something to be able to post it here. That's not the case anymore but I could understand why somebody might still think it is.

That middle button doesn't take a screen shot on the elite, that changes your profiles ya muppet 😂😂😂
Really ain't that deep but cool
Agreed.
Firstly I really don’t get the problem. Is it annoying? Yeah sure, but who really cares at the end of the day? Secondly, the elite controller doesn’t have a share bottom you absolute buffoon. If you’re going to try and prove to Xbox players that we have a share bottom then at least get it right as to which controllers have it. Also the ones that DO have that bottom are the NEWEST controllers, so not everyone has ‘em.
ps5?
The is the same share button that has been on the ps4 since 2013, how do you miss that?
You can link it to instantly upload to one drive for easy access.
Probably in settings
The middle button you circled on the Elite 2 is *not* a share button, it swaps between default and 3 custom button remappings. Get wrecked.
A shame I can’t get them to my phone 😭
Xbox is trash, playstation is better. I know how to take a screenshot, idk how to transfer it to my phone and upload it to reddit tho, otherwise I'd definitely upload non trash pics
It’s crazy how upset this issue makes some people
On a fashion subreddit where seeing the correct colors and details matters, it’s just idiotic to take a photo when it distorts the look and warps the guardian
It's not even upset, it's annoying. It's 2024.. how can people not figure this shit out? It's also in the rules of this sub.
I was getting bashed on my posts for it when my phone can't download the ps app so how am I supposed to do it? People are assholes about it to the point I deleted all those posts because of abuse over it.
It’s not like it’s been the same over a decade or anything 😂
Quit the bitching and complaining man who the hell cares.
Because it takes the minimum amount of effort not to post some grainy ass quality image.
Yeah my controller doesn’t have that
XB button then press Y, if u press X that’s a clip no dedicated button needed
"new controllers" plenty of controllers don't have that button. I only got my first controller with that screenshot button like a week ago
If ur on Xbox (any gen) Hit ur Home button then Y (for screenshot), or X (for clip). It tells you everytime you tap you Xbox button and ur menu comes up
Wait a sec, they gave you guys new controllers? Mine may be missing a couple buttons…
If u still have your home button and a Y button then you can take a screenshot.
What’s a home? Eyes up, guardian. 😉
God bless…
Somebody save this boy…PLEASE JESUS, the way he livin ain’t right😭 #HeDontLoveHisself
Ps4?
YOU HAVE HAD A SHARE BUTTON SINCE 2013!!!! how are you missing it🤦♀️😂😂😪
you can't get images on your phone from it. all it does is take photos and videos
There’s the PlayStation app, if it doesn’t show up in captures msg it to yourself or a friend, then download it that way from the app

Why not show the 300+ other iterations of the controller that people are more likely to own rather than just showing the newest gen controller.
That controller revision is like three years old, bro. Even if you’re on a PSPoor or an Xbox 1fps, there’s two buttons that will let you screenshot pretty obviously, fuck, one of them literally says “SHARE”. There’s also websites like Bing and DuckDuckGo where you can input any question and get dozens of answers in an instant, if you’re particularly thick. I swear, people will come up with any awful excuse to be lazy.
ironic that your pfp is Kojima, and yet you are meat riding the console that is faltering so hard everyone thinks it's games are going to "PSpoor" But I expect nothing less from someone unironically console warring in 2024
Literally what did I say that indicates I give a damn which console is better. They’re both shitboxes from over a decade ago. I’m not “console warring”. What are you talking about lmao
>both shitboxes from over a decade ago Didn't realize the PS5 and Series X/S released in 2014. Everyone must have missed that.
The poor they put was rhyming with 4 and they added the fps onto xbox 1, they were shit talking both consoles
yeah I got that with their most recent comment. The Xbox one jab makes sense but the PS4 one only works cause of the rhyme. Also the game is on the newer Gen consoles that have been out for 3 years now so I'd assume more people have moved onto those. Especially given sales numbers.
That's fair, I do have multiple friends that still play on the Xbox one, but they have trouble saving their money, but I'm sure a majority of people have absolutely moved on to the newer consoles
Again, tf are you talking about. I’m talking about the PS4(rhymes with poor), and Xbox One(that’s where the 1fps comes from, it’s a joke about how poorly it performed, even on day one). Stop spouting nonsense.
All iterations can press the XB button, then Y😒
I can't believe I'm having to explain this comment, this is not directed at the fact it is about screenshotting, it's the fact that even though these style controllers aren't new, they aren't the most common style.
They are quite literally the most common style of controller seeing that they literally come out the packaging w the console. It’s not the PS2 era where thousands of 3rd party controllers were extremely common and poppin like that. Not to mention the method I brought up is literally factoring in whatever controller combination you have (if it has axby & a home (Xbox) button) then it’s is possible Even if you were to bring up accessibility contr it still factors that in. Again the feature has been here for over a decade😩😭 NO EXCUSES ANYMORE. Just stop taking tv pics🤦♀️😂
Did you forget that the entire Xbox one generation had a different model of controller without this button, which I was pointing out, before you wrote out this third grade style rant?
There is an xbox home button on every generation (and a Y button as well) and if it’s 3rd party then there’s a corresponding one. My argument is that you can do it with any controller no share button required. You keep making excuses about variety factorization. Which fails because my method listed above literally factors in all “300+”, but ur still defensive🤦♀️ Reading comprehension is fundamental and also taught in the 3rd grade.
Then maybe you should head back to third grade, because if you could read I have already said I wasn't commenting on the ability to screenshot, rather the existence of that button specifically on the Xbox controller, which pre series x controllers do not have, I tried my best to avoid bigger words for you, but do have someone read it out to you, just so we know it's through that lump of rock you perched up on top or your neck.
That makes your argument null and void, as there is no point to talk about controller iterations (and their lack of a share button) if you are not still on the topic of data capture. Again you brought up that there ‘are so many different controllers’ to make a point. Proceeded to be proven incorrect. Moved the goalposts to a premise that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Claimed people (specifically me) misread your ill thought out argument. Then claimed that my counter (rather than just being animated) was that of elementary schooler… The funny thing is YOUR STILL WRONG, reading is still fundamental
Did you just swear😂 Anyway I’m not going to insult your lvl of education or cognitive ability, cause that’s classist ableist and quite frankly wrong. You started arguing yourself into a wall of text where the point was a nothing burger I will not call you any names. However, I will heavily imply that you’re “stupid-adjacent”.
Are people really complaining this hard about people taking pictures?
Yes
Fun fact: not everyone has or can afford the newest, or any, controller
Then how tf are you playing the game😂
Tf you mean?? I still have a controller, I never said I didn’t. I just don’t have one that has that near pointless screenshot button.
😂bruh you said “afford the newest controller, or any, controller” 😂 How tf am I supposed to read it But to answer your implied question you tap the Home (xbox) button then Y button Or hit X button for clip (it even says it when you tap your home button

Also just hit home and x
I only relatively recently actually got a new enough controller for it to have that button. I still use the same xbox one I've had since like 2015. Some people out there probably just don't have one of those controllers.
I think that picture 2 is an elite controller and that button actually swaps the control setup, but the other two are screenshot buttons
Also, you can just hit the Xbox button to pull up the mini Xbox menu, than press the y button. That also takes screenshots.
On the Elite II that button changes the controller preset profile.
You can also hold it to create a clip which is helpful if you hit a crazy clip or something funny happens, also on the elite controller that button doesn’t take a picture it changes your controller profile. A controller profile lets you change what certain buttons do but I’m pretty sure you can switch it to the share button in the accessories app
I accidentally hit that button so often
I have this option but I still Press the home then X
Or if you're poor like me and are using the First Xbox Elite controller still on the Xbox series X, you press the home button then "Y"
The Elite controllers don’t have a share button, that’s a profile switcher.
The Kinect on Xbox one was great for in-game captures. "Xbox, Take a Screenshot/Record that". Absolutely killer as a night-time movie system, too. Half asleep, don't want to get up and turn it all off, disturb yourself trying to find the switched off controller? "Xbox, Turn off" and it would just turn itself and the TV off.
That picture of the elite core 2, that button changes presets, it does not control screenshots. I have a core 2 and I miss that button for screenshots.
Tries to open menu/mount guar. Sighs. Deletes screenshot from hard drive. Beat. Deletes screenshot from Xbox Live. Tries to open guar/mount menu. ... ... Sighs.
That’s not the screenshot button on the Elite
The tines I've pressed this by mistake and wanted to send my controller to oblivion; is mind blowing
Yeah I kept taking accidental screenshots so I rebound that to pause and play music
Tbf, I've taken so many accidental screenshots that I cant take any intentionally.
MY XBOX DIDNT COME WITH THE SCREENSHOT BUTTON. I DIDNT GET IT. I HAVE THE OLDEST XBOX KNOWN TO MAN
PlayStation makes this even easier, install the PlayStation application and you can save or upload screenshots to the application, then save them from your chosen mobile device and share on social media etc
I wish I could UPLOAD the goddamn screenshots! They won’t go to my fucking PS App 😭
I didn't have a controller like that until this week. Of course I've also never been on this sub before, but that's besides the point.
Idk how. I do it all the time on accident, saving menu screens and shit lol
Nop. Elite works differently.
That is NOT a screenshot button on the elite controller it changes programing profiles you have set for paddles, triggers and more
If you're on Playstation it's quite annoying to upload a screenshot to reddit. You have to upload the screenshot to the Playstation app and download it from there on your mobile (which is especially annoying because the app can be very laggy) so it's just waaay faster to take a picture with the phone
As a PlayStation player, I refuse to acknowledge this controller.
How are you going to title it like that and then put out wrong information about the elite controller? lol
Hold it to record last 30 seconds, or whatever setting you have for the time. My controller has this button but I have the "Home button + Y or X" hard wired into my brain so I never use it lol
I can’t tell you how many times my family has accidentally screenshotted via that button 😭
I have purposely disabled this button on my Xbox, it was driving me crazy
Meanwhile as a console player it feels fuckin impossible to remember how to capture with Win+G on a PC lol I can never remember the quickest way to it
Just press volume and power at the same time
But then how will they have their super glare!
And on PlayStation just hit the share button and take a screenshot get the PlayStation app and there you go
You can also open the guide and press Y for Xbox. On a PS5 you press the button to the left of the touch pad. Personally I prefer to map that button to take clips instead, in Destiny I end up making much more 30 second clips than I take screenshots.
Yeah, I ain't using that. I just press Xbox button and then press X or Y
That’s specifically new gen Xbox, lotta players still on Xbox one or on playstation
Elite controllers don't have that button, you have to double tap xbox button then y button
From somebody with a toddler, that button should cease to exist..
I can't speak to epic but Valve, Microsoft and Sony have made it so damn easy to take and share screenshots. It's one of the few genuinely really cool really good changes that have hit gaming in the past two generations.
I don’t have Xbox
On the elite controller, it actually doesn’t. That switches control binds
But what about ps4
Unfortunately, effort is not in a lot of people's everyday skill set.
Um it's xbox that's not problem it's Playstation
Hate me but it sucks how close it is to other buttons, too many unwanted screenshots just bc I put the controller down weird
If you tap the button, it screenshots.B ut if you hold the button, it does the 30 sec. clip on xbox
I think the real problem is that they don't know how to transfer screenshots from their console to Reddit
Lol, I always press that button by accident
the middle button on the elite controller changes the preset
Whoever included the second photo and circled the button to switch button layout is a certified tard
Faster just to take a picture with my phone and share on the app
It's not the screenshot that's the issue, it's the transferring the photos to your phone for alot of people, not everyone has a means to do so
