The Forge TV is a device, developed by gaming giants Razer, that gives gamers the opportunity to play Google Play games on a big screen with up to three other players, while also providing low-latency PC streaming.

The Forge TV is powered by a quad core Snapdragon 805 chip that is combined with an Adreno 420 graphics processing unit and 2 GB of RAM.

Connectivity is unsurprisingly key for a device like this and the Forge TV doesn't disappoint, with Bluetooth 4.1+ and 802.11ac wireless capability. It is also fitted with Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and HDMI ports.

The Razer Forge TV will sell for $100 on its own, with an extra $150 getting you a Serval controller. It is set to begin shipping in the coming months.
