LibreRemotePlay vs Razer PC Remote Play

LibreRemotePlay is software for turning local co-op games into online sessions. Friends can play as though they were using one computer, with compatibility for games that support controllers, including DRM-free games. It uses peer-to-peer WebRTC connections and also offers LAN mode for connections that do not require the internet. Remote video streaming includes configurable codecs, frame rate, and resolution, with WHIP compatibility for tools such as GStreamer and OBS. Hosts can run the app on Windows or Linux, while clients can use Windows, Linux, or a web browser. The homepage says no account is required, and the app and client website collect no data. The project is free forever, with no account or credit card required. The maker describes it as very experimental.

Razer PC Remote Play streams games from a Windows PC to mobile devices and lets users browse and launch PC games remotely. It supports 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. Razer Cortex Mobile can configure games, customize controls, record and share gameplay, and update controllers. Pairing uses Razer Cortex on the PC with Razer PC Remote Play and Cortex Mobile, through a Razer ID or PIN. Initial pairing requires both devices on the same network; later remote play depends on home-network configuration and enabled UPnP. Razer lists 15 Mbps as the minimum bandwidth and recommends more than 30 Mbps for ideal play. The PC download supports Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11. Mobile requirements are described as iOS 18 and Android 14 or later, while the FAQ lists iOS 18 and Android 12 or above. The service is free, though some Cortex Mobile apps may require payment.
