Razer Remote Play is a compelling solution designed for gamers who want to extend their PC gaming experience to mobile devices. Leveraging the power of the open-source Moonlight technology, this service allows users to stream their favorite games from their high-performance desktop to a mobile platform. The tool is particularly appealing for those who own Razer peripherals, as it can take advantage of optimized hardware compatibility—especially when paired with devices like the Razer Kishi.
Hosting requires running at least Windows 11 (Version 23H2). On your mobile device, use iOS 18 or Android 12 or above.
The setup, however, isn’t entirely plug-and-play. Users must install and configure multiple applications (such as Razer Cortex on the PC and specific mobile apps like Razer Nexus or PC Remote Play on smartphones) to get everything running. This layered setup might appear a bit technical for casual gamers, but it also offers plenty of customization options to match one’s network requirements and gaming preferences. When everything is set up correctly, Razer Remote Play delivers high frame rates and adaptive resolutions, even supporting refresh rates of up to 120Hz on compatible devices. However, like many network-dependent solutions, some users may occasionally experience minor latency or stability issues when moving outside their local area network.
