Razer PC Remote Play unlocks the full potential of your gaming rig by streaming your favorite PC game titles to your phone, tablet, or Windows handheld with unmatched visual clarity and responsiveness. By leveraging the full frame rate and resolution of your mobile device gamers will experience pristine visuals without black bars.

Introduced at CES 2025, the beta version of Razer PC Remote Play received great fanfare amongst users. The official launch brings a redesigned interface on Razer Cortex PC, along with added support to all mobile gaming controllers compatible with iOS or Android operating systems, support for the AV1 video codec for improved quality and lower latency, and software updates that improves the gaming experience for seamless PC gaming on the go. Gamers can now look forward to ultra-smooth, high-fidelity gameplay on smartphones and tablets - anywhere, anytime.

What is the point of this, Razer? Nothing (that I am aware of) comes even close to Sunshine + Moonlight when it comes to latency, quality, and hardware and platform support. Plus they're free and open source and don't require an account.

Good question !

And the answers are:

1) It keeps their name in the headlines...
2) It gives them yet ANUTHA chance to introduce even more over-hyped, over-priced gamr tois for da gamr bois/gurlz....(cause we all know how much super high quality stuff they make !)
3) It gives yet ANUTHA company even more access to even more people's personal info, especially their gamin habits, like play dates/times/types of gamz played etc, (which they WILL sell to anyone, every chance they get) which means even MORE targeted advertising, email spam, and in-game promos....

So in other words.....MO MONEY, MO MONEY, MO MONEY (from your wallet to theirs)

Business is business. Making money is their point. However, this is an especially useless product.
