One of the highlights is the customization possibilities. I quite like the feature for adjusting the layout and appearance according to my taste. That does give an added personalized touch to the whole thing.

Like all beta software, however, there are a couple of weak spots. I have faced occasional bugs: things such as the interface freezing while switching between games too fast, or a game not launching properly or just not reading the controller. Annoying, yeah, but it is a beta.

Another minor inconvenience is that some customization settings don’t save properly, requiring me to reset them each time I restart the application. Performance-wise, there are rare instances of slight fps drops in demanding games, which I hope will be fixed in future updates.

Overall, Razer Cortex Console Mode is a fantastic addition to the Razer apps. It brings a great console-like experience to PC and handheld gaming alike. It is also perfect for those who love using a controller. Considering the bugs and compatibility issues, I'm sure that these will get ironed out as long as razer pushes out some software updates. If you're a Razer fan or just looking for another way to enjoy your games, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Not perfect, yet, but already a game changer in many ways.🥳❤️


It works pretty well considering the beta stage. 

Currently using a Sony DualSense controller and have had no issues so far, a great alternative to the offerings from Steam. 


console mode is awesome on the steam deck!


Love the new Cortex Version. Using it with a Logitech controller, works very smoothly.


its great! it realy boosted my pc (rtx 3050 and a ryzen 6600h) but there is a problem. The button sounds are very anoying. This realy bothers me and ruins my experience. I also think this will effect an average joe like me.

making the sounds a little bit better will make it near perfect for low memory pcs like mine. 7/10 would recomend but inform them about the menu sound.

 

i forgot to say this im also on pc. but it works great.


i dont have any handheld console but i always wanted to experience more like a console experience on my pc and this app does the job perfectly, collecting the informations from other launchers and also giving a perfomance chart now i can have all in one well glued and also having a perfect big picture.

Only thing not working for me atm is that i dont see game cover picture in console mode for manually added games even if it works in non console mode.

Love to see how it develops and now im using it as main launcher


I’m not gonna lie, it’s very enjoyable. Some of the games i play i didn’t even know they where fun with controller until now. Also the fact that the layout looks nice, and is user friendly makes the experience better overall. Also the performance settings bring every thing together. As of right now i have haven’t noticed any bugs yet. I think razer is on to something, so i’m excited to see where they take this


I’m really enjoying Console Mode. It’s a fantastic project that brings the ease of console gaming to PC. For now, my “handheld console” is the gamepad I use with my PC 😀 Being able to sit back and focus purely on playing without any extra hassle is such a great experience. I’m especially excited to see how it evolves with more features and control options in the future. Keep up the awesome work!


Let’s Go🔥


razer cooked?!?!?!

They are always cooking something good with their products


wonderful gaming experience


love the system cleaner and booster how smooth!


Pretty buggy, which is to be expected in a Beta, but it’s a solid replacement for something like Steam Big Picture on my desktop PC. Love it on my ASUS ROG Ally X as a replacement for the default launcher, even if it’s buggy. Mostly because ASUS has no idea how to make good UX 😁


As a father of a Girl of 3 YO and another little princes on the way, this feels like an opportunity for people that don't have the chances to stay in the commodity of the gaming setup, being a father demands to be in many different places along the day and you’ll never now when you’re going to have time for a breath of gaming. But the living room is a must in every child day, and Razer Cortex os the perfect opportunity for me and many others to take our own time to relax with the family. Thank you. 


loving the new console mode playing on windows 11 works great with controller u guys are definitely heading in the right direction


After downloading and using the Console mode, I have one thing to say. When I minimized the window, my inputs from my controller were still being detected and outputted. Other than that, it felt like a proper interface. I’d like to see an overlay that controls things like performance, screen resolution, or other things to control while I'm in a game. This was all done on my Legion Go.
