Leading global gaming lifestyle brand Razer has officially launched a new tournament platform that puts the spotlight on instantly playable casual games. Now available on Android via Google Play Store and coming soon to Razer Cortex on PC, the Razer Cortex Instant Games Tournaments will be hosting four to six concurrent tournaments at any time with over a hundred games across a variety of genres available for free play directly from the Razer Cortex app with no additional downloads. These tournaments offers tiered levels of Razer Silver prizes which are redeemable for a variety of Razer hardware, accessories and digital rewards.
Releasing simultaneously with Razer Cortex Instant Gaming Tournaments is the first ever Sneki Snek game featuring Razer's iconic, environmentally conscious mascot. Sneki Snek Adventure challenges users to steer Sneki Snek away from poison obstacles and grab seeds to plant trees to score bonuses. The tournament leaderboard is updated in real time so that players can see their standings for a chance to win Razer Silver prizes. All proceeds generated from the Instant Game through charity tournaments running exclusively on Razer Cortex will be directly donated to Conservation International as part of Razer's continued commitment towards more sustainable business practices and reducing its global carbon footprint.
Additional games and tournaments will constantly be added and rotated onto the platform in order to spur consistent and varied competition for all players. Razer has also partnered with Goama Games to tap into its vast library of hypercasual games and tournament hosting capabilities. Goama delivers an advanced gamified experience turning any app into a gamified powerhouse unleashing more opportunities to engage users, increase new user acquisition and retain existing ones. “Through interacting with our millions of users in the Razer Cortex app, we know that gamers love a challenge – wherever they are and regardless of what platform they’re playing on. This offered us a great opportunity to introduce competitive casual gaming directly to a ready and eager player base. Razer Cortex creates experiences and offers rewards in a way that only Razer can, harnessing the full potential of our interconnected ecosystem of hardware, software, and services," said Razer's Director of Software Quyen Quach. Goama CEO Taro Araya stated, “We are proud to be working with Razer to create more ways for players to improve their gaming skills and be rewarded for their performance."
An essential companion for any gamer whether at home or on the go, Razer Cortex enhances and customizes your gaming experience on both PC and mobile devices. The app taps directly into your existing gaming library and optimizes the performance of your PC or smartphone for a faster, smoother gaming experience. Aside from various must-have features, Razer Cortex also rewards players for playing various games across mobile and PC platforms.
