In terms of games, the Edge, which will initially be offered solely in the United States, will come preloaded with launchers for Epic Games, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Nvidia GeForce Now. Remote play services such as Steam Link, Moonlight, and Parsec will also be available.
Because this is a cloud gaming gadget, the connection is essential. According to Razer, the Edge includes WiFi 6E, which operates on an “uncongested” 6GHz channel and supports the multi-gig capacity for high download and upload speeds. If you have the correct model, you will be able to connect to cloud gaming services while on the road through 5G.
The Razer Edge 5G is only available from Verizon. Pricing and specific availability will be announced later, although it is expected to be available in January, around the same time as the WiFi model. That model will cost $400 and will be available via Razer’s website and RazerStore locations. A refundable payment of $5 is required to reserve one. The standalone Kishi V2 Pro controller has yet to be priced or released by Razer.
That’s not a cheap price for a WiFi model, and the 5G version is likely to be more expensive, but the features seem to be enough for the money. If you don’t want to use your phone as a controller and don’t want to carry about a Steam Deck, it seems to be a viable choice for on-the-go cloud gaming.
