Tech giant Razer Inc. has officially launched its game streaming platform, Razer PC Remote Play, allowing gamers to harness the power of their gaming rigs on the go by streaming PC games directly to their mobile devices.
To bring fully optimised visuals to mobile devices, Razer PC Remote Play will adapt to each device’s display by automatically adjusting both the title’s maximum resolution and the device’s refresh rate to allow for smooth visuals without black bars, alongside support for the AV1 video codec for improved quality and lower latency.
Utilising the Razer Cortex app on PC in tandem with the Razer PC Remote Play and Razer Nexus apps on mobile devices, gamers can look forward to seamless play experiences on the go, able to browse, configure and launch games directly from their devices, with controller support for iOS and Android-compatible gamepads or Razer’s proprietary Kishi controller, with the Razer Kishi Ultra providing additional support for Sensa HD Haptics to add another level of immersion. The streaming service includes further support for external PCs, too, allowing users to stream games to other Windows 11 devices, such as laptops and handhelds.
To set up Razer PC Remote Play, the app along with Razer Nexus must first be installed on a user’s mobile device, with remote play enabled on the accompanying PC’s Razer Cortex app, with initial pairing requiring both the PC and mobile device to be on the same network. Once paired, users can then make use of other cellular or Wi-Fi networks on their mobile devices to stream games remotely from Steam, Epic Games, PC Game Pass, or other online gaming platforms on their handhelds.
Razer PC Remote Play is now available for download on the App Store and Google Play. Hosting requires PCs to run at least Windows 11 (Version 23H2), while mobile devices need to be either iOS 18 or Android 14 and above. For ideal play, Razer recommends a bandwidth of at least 30 Mbps, with 15 Mbps being the minimum bandwidth requirement.
