The Razer Edge’s release date reveal at CES 2023 shows the hardware manufacturer’s next foray into the cloud gaming market is coming soon. You won’t have to wait long for the company’s handheld, as it’s launching on January 26. 

Billed by the brand as “the ultimate Android gaming handheld”, the Razer Edge releases in three variants. The base Wi-Fi starts at $399.99, the Founders Edition comes in at $499.99, and the 5G version retails for $599.99. The new handheld is set for a US-only launch at the time of writing, with no confirmed details regarding an international release date yet. 

Under the hood, Razer’s next streaming handheld seems to be ideal for Xbox Game Pass and for those looking for a proper, tailored Android gaming experience. That’s because the Razer Edge is running the Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 1, one of the stronger mobile CPUs on the market to date.

However, unlike the Steam Deck, the Razer Edge does not feature the ability to natively play PC games. Whether this unit can stack up as one of the best Android tablets remains to be seen. Essentially, this is a tablet with Razer Kishi-style controllers built into each side.
