Does Elgato Game Capture 4K S work with Xbox Series X?

COMPATIBLEVerified from manufacturer spec sheet

Yes, the Elgato Game Capture 4K S is compatible with the Xbox Series X.

4K S's own comparison table recommends it for Xbox Series S, not Series X -- Series X is only in the 4K X row. The card still passes video (HDMI auto-negotiates to a supported resolution), it just can't reach the frame rates Series X is capable of outputting.

Limitation

Elgato does not officially recommend 4K S for Xbox Series X -- only for the lower-output Xbox Series S. 4K S's HDMI input is version 2.0, which maxes out passthrough/capture at 2160p60. Xbox Series X's HDMI 2.1 output supports up to 8K HDR and 4K at higher frame rates; connected to 4K S, the console will auto-negotiate down to a mode the card supports (up to 2160p60), losing access to Series X's higher frame rate modes rather than failing outright.
