Play Your PC Games on Mobile with Razer's New App
Fri Apr 11 2025
Razer has just released a new way to play PC games on mobile phones. This new platform lets users stream games from their PC to their mobile device. It supports the original screen size, shape, and refresh rate of the game. The service is now available for download on both Apple and Android devices. It works with Windows, Apple, and Android devices that have at least Windows 11, iOS 18, and Android 14.
To use this service, users need to install the Razer Cortex game launcher on their PC. This launcher has a new look and works with popular game services like Steam, Epic Games, and Microsoft's PC Game Pass. On the mobile side, users need to install the Razer Nexus game launcher and the new Razer PC Remote Play app.
This platform was first shown at CES 2025 and has been tested by users. The final version includes some cool features. It uses the AV1 video codec for better quality and less delay. It also supports the Razer Kishi Ultra controller and other controllers that work with iOS and Android. People using the Kishi Ultra with Android devices will get a special feature called Sensa HD Haptics. This feature uses game sounds to create vibrations, making the gaming experience more immersive.
The new platform is a big step forward for mobile gaming. It allows users to play their favorite PC games on the go. However, it's important to note that the quality of the streaming experience will depend on the user's internet connection. A strong and stable connection is needed for the best experience. Also, the performance of the PC and mobile device will affect the gameplay. Users with older devices may not get the best results.
This new platform is not the first of its kind. Other companies have similar services. However, Razer's platform stands out because of its support for high-quality streaming and a wide range of controllers. It's a great option for gamers who want to play their PC games on their mobile devices. But, it's not a perfect solution. Users should consider their internet connection and device performance before using this service.
