Razer, most known for their awesome PC peripherals, is trying something new. Razer Cortex aims to be the one stop shop that every PC gamer needs. Though almost all of the features Cortex offers are available to some degree in other software, Cortex brings it all together in one place. Here are the coolest features:
- Record gameplay video without any watermarks, or limits on things like resolution, framerate, or recording length.
- Share video to places like Facebook and Youtube easily.
- "Game Booster" which will probably be something like what Nvidia and AMD already offer, optimizing your rig for the best gaming experience.
- "Save game manager" lets you save progress and settings to the cloud, with no limit on the amount of data.
- "Deals" will track prices for digital PC games across the web, finding you the best deals. Right now, Steam, GOG, Amazon, Origin, and some others are listed.
This could be one of those products that no one ever realized they need, until they have it. If you're interested in seeing what it's all about, you can sign up for early access by clicking the link below. The official release of the product is September 10.
