Razer Unleashes PC Remote Play: Conquer Gaming Anywhere with Uncompromised Power
Paul Riverbank, 1/8/2025Razer's PC Remote Play promises seamless streaming of PC games to mobile devices with full graphical fidelity, revolutionizing mobile gaming. Coupled with new gaming hardware, it blurs the line between traditional and mobile gaming experiences.
Razer's ambitious new PC Remote Play feature promises to revolutionize mobile gaming — allowing users to stream their entire PC game library to Android, iOS, and Razer's own Edge tablet with "full graphical fidelity." According to the company's press release, the free update to the Razer Nexus app will let gamers "scroll through a list of all the supported games installed on your PC and launch and play them directly in the Nexus app while on the go."
This bold move underscores Razer's commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming. As the company boasts, the PC Remote Play feature utilizes "Razer Sensa HD Haptics to add rumble and other tactile feedback while playing" — immersing you in the action like never before. And for those eager to experience it firsthand, Razer is demoing the tech at its CES booth, with a beta rollout slated for the Nexus app "soon."
But the innovations don't stop there. Razer is also unveiling a slew of new PC gaming hardware and accessories for 2025 — a veritable smorgasbord for the discerning gamer. And to truly unlock the potential of PC Remote Play, the company is touting its Kishi Ultra controller, which you can currently snag for a cool $130 at Amazon (down from $150). Compatible with select Android phones, tablets, and iOS devices with a USB-C port — including the iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPad Mini a17 Pro — the Kishi Ultra promises to "offer the most feature support."
Yet, even if you don't splurge on the Ultra, Razer assures that the feature will work with other mobile controllers in its lineup, such as the Kishi V2 and V2 Pro. It's a tantalizing prospect — the ability to seamlessly transition from your PC gaming setup to your mobile device, without sacrificing graphical fidelity or immersion. As Razer boldly declares, "You can scroll through a list of all the supported games installed on your PC and launch and play them directly in the Nexus app while on the go."
In an era where mobile gaming is rapidly evolving, Razer's PC Remote Play tech could very well be a game-changer — blurring the lines between traditional and mobile gaming experiences. And with the company's track record of innovation, one can't help but wonder what other surprises they have in store for CES 2025 and beyond.
