Razer joins forces with the giant behind PUBG Mobile to 'supercharge' mobile gaming
It seems more and more likely that the Razer Phone 2 will eventually get a sequel
Since then, PUBG Mobile unsurprisingly crossed the 100 million Play Store milestone, also earning a couple of top prizes in Google's year-end review. While the game works fine on most high-end handsets, Razer and Tencent will apparently join forces to optimize the latter's titles (presumably including both existing and future ones) specifically for the former's hardware. We're talking the Razer Phone family, as well as Razer-designed mobile game controllers.
But hardware optimization is just one of a three-part collaboration strategy, with Razer and Tencent also focused on working together across software and services areas. Unfortunately, today's announcement is extremely light on specifics, but it's yet another sign that Razer is absolutely not giving up on the mobile gaming world. That would be a pretty bad idea considering the stuff Google is preparing in an attempt to revolutionize this experience.
While a Razer Phone 3 is not explicitly confirmed by the company in this vague press release teasing the ways Tencent could help "supercharge the mobile gaming industry", it's certainly a good sign that the "acclaimed" handset family is mentioned several times. That doesn't sound like a soon-to-be-discontinued product lineup to us.
