Obviously, I don’t think this one small gadget will mean I bin off my PS5 tomorrow. As of writing, it's also currently on sale for only $39.99 in the US at Amazon (opens in new tab), which is just as good a deal as when I snagged it on this side of the pond.
This is the kind of price I can easily justify for my now regular mobile gaming sessions.
But when I picked it up it was just £34.99, which I've found to be an absolute bargain. It could be easy to be put off by the usual cost of around $100 / £80. Best of all, though, it can shrink down to the size of your palm for easy portability and storage. It has a flexible holster that can fit the majority of phones and it plugs straight into the USB-C port for power and minimal latency. The Razer Kishi is a neat little accessory that attaches to your phone to give you a full-size controller experience on said mobile. There are still steps to take but clever innovations like the Razer Kishi, constantly improving streaming technology and the wider availability of faster internet speeds, have convinced me there's still some hope yet for cloud gaming. I’ve decided to embrace my fate as a mobile gamer and one of the cloud gaming converted. So, I picked up the Razer Kishi for Android - a handy mobile gaming gadget that was on sale recently. It’s not great for all games, but it’s been a perfectly fine way to play the likes of dystopian dice-rolling life sim Citizen Sleeper, old-school RPG Chained Echoes, and moreish deck-builder Monster Train.Īnd while my Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus performs well, has a decent screen, and doesn’t lose all its battery in five minutes, I hit another roadblock: I just couldn’t deal with the atrocious touch controls.
Mostly, I’ve found it to be a reasonable way to stream Xbox games to my phone while at home thanks to the blessing of gigabit broadband.
I’ve neither found it to be a runaway success nor a catastrophic failure. It’s something I’ve dabbled with a number of times while I’ve had an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, too. Arguably, though, Microsoft has come closest with Xbox Cloud Gaming. Now we're more than a decade on and I don’t think it would be unfair to say that nobody has completely cracked cloud gaming yet.
