Razer, known for its hardcore gaming gear, just dropped some exciting news for gamers who want to take their PC experience mobile. They’ve officially launched Razer PC Remote Play, a platform that lets you stream your PC games directly to your mobile devices. Imagine playing your favorite, graphically intense PC titles on your phone, tablet, or even a Windows handheld!
So, what’s the big deal? Razer PC Remote Play essentially unlocks the full potential of your beefy gaming rig, delivering those high-fidelity PC games to your mobile screen. The key here is that it aims to give you top-notch visual clarity and super-responsive gameplay. No more squinting at tiny, compressed streams – Razer is promising pristine visuals by utilizing the full frame rate and resolution of your mobile device, so you won’t have to deal with those annoying black bars.
Razer actually gave us a sneak peek of this tech at CES 2025, where the beta version of PC Remote Play generated a lot of buzz. Now that it’s officially here, Razer has made some significant upgrades. The platform boasts a redesigned interface on Razer Cortex PC, making it even more user-friendly.
Controller compatibility is a major focus. PC Remote Play now supports all controllers that work with iOS or Android, including their own Razer Kishi. This means you can get that familiar console-like experience on your mobile device, but with the power of your gaming PC behind it. If you’re an iPad user, you’re in luck too – it’s fully compatible with keyboard, mouse, and trackpad setups.
Razer has also implemented the AV1 video codec to enhance streaming quality and reduce latency. This is crucial for a smooth and responsive gaming experience, minimizing those frustrating delays between your button presses and the action on screen.
The app allows you to browse, configure, and launch your PC games directly from your mobile device using Razer Nexus. It’s designed to be an all-in-one hub where you can instantly launch your games, customize your controls, record and share your gameplay, and even keep your controller updated.
The platform also automatically optimizes the stream to take full advantage of your device’s display. This means you should get incredibly sharp and smooth visuals, with Razer PC Remote Play dynamically adjusting to your device’s maximum resolution and refresh rate, without locking you into fixed aspect ratios.
For those using Razer Kishi Ultra controllers with Android devices, there’s another cool feature: Razer Sensa HD Haptics. This tech delivers realistic tactile feedback that syncs up with what’s happening in the game, from the kick of a gun to the rumble of an engine.
Setting up PC Remote Play seems pretty straightforward. You just need to install Razer Nexus and Razer PC Remote Play on your mobile device, enable Remote Play in Razer Cortex on your PC, and sign in with your Razer ID. Your PC and mobile device should then pair automatically, and you can connect your Kishi or other compatible controller to start playing controller-supported games. And the best part? You can stream your entire PC game library.
Razer PC Remote Play supports a wide range of PC game platforms, including Steam, Epic Games, PC Game Pass, and more. It’s compatible with iOS 18 and Android 14+ on the mobile side, and Windows 10 and 11 on the PC side.
If you’re ready to ditch being tethered to your desk and take your PC games on the road, Razer PC Remote Play is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
