Razer unveiled a host of innovative technologies at CES 2026, demonstrating a shift towards integrating artificial intelligence into its product lineup while still catering to gamers’ needs. Key among the announcements was a new AI desk companion named Project AVA, which serves as a multifunctional assistant akin to Google Home or Amazon Alexa. Razer also introduced Project Motoko, a wearable AI headset powered by Snapdragon, alongside a suite of developer tools aimed at fostering AI innovation. The announcements were complemented by the introduction of the world’s fastest Bluetooth controller and two new gaming chairs.
Project AVA evolves from its initial concept as an eSports AI coach introduced at last year’s CES. The new iteration features a 5.5-inch animated avatar, an adaptive AI personality, and a PC vision mode, positioning it as a true digital partner designed for various tasks beyond gaming. The device is currently available for reservation in the United States, reflecting Razer’s commitment to enhancing user experience through AI technologies.
Meanwhile, Project Motoko showcases Razer’s ambition in the wearable AI space. This wireless headset concept integrates dual first-person view cameras, providing augmented AI visual awareness. It is designed for universal compatibility across leading AI platforms and includes intelligent audio feedback alongside dual microphones for advanced audio detection. This technology not only enhances gaming and productivity but also supports robotics training and AI model development through human point-of-view vision data.
Razer’s foray into AI is bolstered by the introduction of its AI developer ecosystem, which aims to empower developers with the tools necessary to create next-generation AI applications. This ecosystem includes the Razer Forge AI Dev Workstation, engineered to handle intensive AI training and inference tasks. It offers secure on-device computing with no subscription fees, supporting multiple professional-grade GPUs and CPUs for enhanced performance and scalability.
Additionally, Razer announced the Razer AIKit, a platform that streamlines the AI development lifecycle, allowing users to run and fine-tune large language models locally. This open-source tool aims to facilitate low-latency AI workflows and is available on GitHub for developers to customize and improve.
For gaming enthusiasts, Razer revealed Project Madison, a next-generation immersive gaming chair that promises to elevate the gaming experience through Razer Sensa HD Haptics, THX Spatial Audio, and Razer Chroma RGB technology. This chair aims to create a fully immersive environment for users, enhancing their interaction with games on multiple sensory levels. While Project Madison is still in development, Razer has also introduced the Razer Iskur V2 NewGen, designed for ergonomic comfort. This chair features Razer HyperFlex Lumbar Support, Gen-2 EPU Leather with CoolTouch Technology, and a dual-density cold-cured foam cushion to ensure comfort during extended gaming sessions, and it is currently available for pre-order.
Moreover, the company continues to innovate in the controller space with the introduction of the Razer Wolverine V3 Bluetooth controller. Developed in partnership with LG, this controller features ultra-low latency Bluetooth, integrated TV controls, and pro-grade capabilities, optimizing it for cloud gaming experiences. It positions itself as the world’s fastest wireless controller, allowing gamers to enjoy high-performance gaming from the comfort of their couches.
As Razer expands its footprint in the AI domain, the company remains committed to enhancing the gaming experience for its users. The products unveiled at CES 2026 indicate a forward-thinking approach that integrates cutting-edge technology while addressing the needs of both casual and competitive gamers. Through developments like Project AVA and Project Motoko, Razer is set to redefine the landscape of gaming and productivity in the coming years.
