Gaming company Razer bought OUYA earlier this year after the once-crowdfunding success fell on hard times. Razer’s acquisition only involved the software half of OUYA, namely the OUYA Store, and today it’s been announced that it is coming back as Cortex for Razer Forge TV. We always knew this was going to be the case, but it’s always good to put a name to the rumour.
As with the original OUYA Store, Cortex will be a separate entity to the Google Play Store even though it runs on Android, meaning your Play Store purchases won’t carry over to your Forge TV, and vice versa. Arguably this was one of OUYA’s biggest downfalls, but obviously Razer believes its Forge TV community won’t mind too much. If you have a Forge TV and you’re interested, you can get a system update today that will add Cortex functionality, but you’ll still need to sign up to use it – that said, signing up today will net you $10 to use on Cortex, so it’s not a bad deal.
