Razer have announced the availability for pre-order of Razer Forge TV, the Android TV micro-console, and Razer Serval, the accompanying Bluetooth game controller. Razer Forge TV won eight awards in January at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show, including two coveted “Best of CES” awards.
Razer Forge TV ($99.99) and Razer Serval (bundled with Forge TV, $149.99; $79.99, separately) are available now online at RazerStore and Amazon. Both products will begin shipping within two weeks for North America.
Razer began distribution of Razer Forge TV hardware development kits to Android programmers this year, most recently at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. The device will ship with three games preloaded: Modern Combat 5: Blackout, BombSquad, and Age of Zombies.
Razer Forge TV was selected the “Best Gaming” product at CES 2015 and also won “People’s Choice” by way of an open public vote, besting a field of more than 20,000 other products. The Razer Turret lapboard and mouse and Razer Cortex: Stream software will be released later this year, allowing PC games to be played in the living room by streaming through the Forge TV.
