At this year’s CES, Razer doubled down on AI, showing off a wave of new products built around it. The lineup included Project AVA, an AI desk companion, Project Motoko, a gaming headset positioned as “wearable AI,” and the Razer Forge AI Dev Workstation, a developer-focused PC designed for AI computing.
Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan also took the stage for a live episode of The Verge’s "Decoder" podcast with editor-in-chief Nilay Patel, where he addressed the growing backlash from gamers over AI’s role in game development. Tan didn’t mince words about the rise of “AI slop,” but he made it clear he still believes AI can be a net positive — especially when it comes to speeding up development. He even argued that, despite the noise online, most gamers ultimately want smoother, faster game releases too.
