Razer has introduced its new streaming platform, Razer PC Remote Play, enabling gamers to stream PC games directly to their iOS or Android devices. This service is compatible with various mobile gaming controllers and utilizes AV1 encoding to ensure a high-quality and low-latency gaming experience.
Key Features of Razer PC Remote Play
The Razer PC Remote Play platform provides easy access to supported PC games via the Razer Nexus app. It supports popular game services such as Steam, PC Game Pass, and Epic Games, among others. To use this service, a Windows 10 host PC is required, along with a mobile device running iOS 18 or Android 14 or newer.
Enhanced Display and Resolution Capabilities
A significant advantage of Razer’s platform is its ability to optimize display settings. Unlike many competing services, Razer PC Remote Play automatically adapts the resolution and refresh rate to suit the mobile device, enhancing the visual experience, especially on smartphones with wider aspect ratios.
Controller and Peripheral Support
The platform also offers full compatibility with mobile gaming controllers, including additional haptic feedback through Razer’s Kishi Ultra controller designed for Android. iPad users benefit from extensive peripheral support, allowing connections to keyboards, mice, and trackpads.
User-Friendly Experience
According to feedback from Razer developers, the platform emphasizes user-friendliness compared to other solutions like Moonlight or Steam Remote Play, which often require manual configuration. Razer PC Remote Play simplifies the process by automatically quitting games when finished and adjusting display settings dynamically.
Cost and Accessibility
The service is free to use. Users simply need to download the Razer PC Remote Play and Razer Nexus apps on their mobile devices, along with the Razer Cortex app on their PCs.
