What Razer PC Remote Play is
Razer PC Remote Play streams games from a Windows PC to mobile devices and lets players browse and launch their PC games remotely. Razer says it works with libraries including Steam, Epic, PC Game Pass, and other PC game libraries. The stream adjusts to the mobile device’s maximum resolution and refresh rate. Through Razer Cortex Mobile, users can configure games, customize controls, record and share gameplay, and update controllers. Pairing uses Razer Cortex on the PC and Razer PC Remote Play with Cortex Mobile on the mobile device; users can connect through a Razer ID or a PIN. The PC and mobile device must share a network for initial pairing. Later remote play depends on the home network configuration and requires UPnP support and enablement. Razer gives 15 Mbps as the minimum bandwidth requirement and recommends more than 30 Mbps for ideal play. The PC download supports Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11, and Windows 11 devices can also receive streams. The product page describes iOS 18 and Android 14 or later, while its FAQ lists iOS 18 and Android 12 or above as minimum mobile requirements. The service is free, though some apps within Cortex Mobile may require payment.
