Every PC gamer has a routine.
You boot up your system, close a few background apps, launch your game, and hope everything runs smoothly. Maybe you’re jumping into a ranked match. Maybe you’re squeezing in a few games after work. Maybe you’re just trying to make sure your best plays don’t disappear into memory.
In 2025, millions of gamers relied on Razer Cortex to make that routine simpler.
Razer Cortex Replay 2025 looks back at how the platform was used over the past year, what features gamers leaned on most, and how Razer Cortex continues to support smoother performance, faster launches, and effortless game capture.
What Is Razer Cortex and Why Gamers Use It
Razer Cortex is built around a simple idea: PC gaming works best when your tools stay out of the way.
As an all-in-one game launcher, optimization platform, and clipping solution, Razer Cortex brings together the essentials many gamers already juggle across multiple apps. It lets you:
- Organize and launch games from one unified library
- Optimize system resources for gaming
- Capture gameplay clips with minimal interruption
- Explore deals and rewards across titles
Instead of asking players to change how they game, Razer Cortex adapts to existing habits. Whether you’re loading straight into competitive play or hopping between titles in a single session, everything stays streamlined.
By the Numbers: How Gamers Used Razer Cortex in 2025
How gamers use a platform matters more than how it’s described.
In 2025, players logged a combined 3.1 billion hours of gameplay through Razer Cortex. That time spans every type of session, from quick warm-ups to long competitive grinds and late-night co-op runs.
Over the same year, 10 million players used Razer Cortex as part of their PC gaming setup. Together, these figures offer a snapshot of how the platform was used across different games, regions, and playstyles throughout 2025.
Capturing Gameplay Without Interrupting It
In December 2025, Game Clips was introduced as a new feature within Razer Cortex, focused specifically on making gameplay capture more accessible.
Game Clips allows players to save recent gameplay moments without relying on separate recording software or interrupting play. Since its introduction, players have clipped over 20 million videos, capturing more than 2,000 hours of gameplay each day.
These clips span everything from competitive highlights to casual moments, reflecting how players choose to capture and revisit their gameplay.
Where Game Clips Is Used the Most
Looking specifically at Game Clips activity provides insight into where clipping is most concentrated.
In the last month, the most clipped games using Razer Cortex Game Clips were:
- Counter-Strike 2 – 11.6M+ clips
- League of Legends – 5.6M+ clips
- Dota 2 – 800K+ clips
- Other titles – 2M+ clips
These figures reflect clipping behavior within Game Clips, not overall Razer Cortex game support. Razer Cortex itself continues to support a broad range of PC titles for launching and optimization.
Expanding Game Clips Coverage
As Game Clips continues to evolve, coverage is being expanded to support clipping across more titles.
Current development and rollout efforts are focused on popular competitive and mainstream games, including VALORANT, Delta Force, and Street Fighter 6, with additional titles such as Fortnite, Battlefield 6, and Rocket League planned to follow.
Game Clips compatibility is being expanded progressively to ensure stable capture performance across different engines and game types.
Why PC Optimization Still Matters
While Game Clips was the most visible addition in 2025, PC optimization remained a steady part of Razer Cortex throughout the year.
Before games launch, Razer Cortex can manage background processes to help prioritize system resources for gameplay. These tools run alongside the launcher and Game Clips features, supporting longer sessions and smoother transitions between games.
Looking Ahead
Razer Cortex: Replay 2025 isn’t just a recap of milestones. It’s a snapshot of how millions of gamers choose to manage their PC gaming experience.
With growing playtime, the introduction of Game Clips, and expanding game support, Razer Cortex continues to focus on one core goal: making PC gaming easier to launch, smoother to play, and easier to remember.
As gaming habits evolve, Razer Cortex evolves with them, staying focused on the everyday moments that define how we play.
