Razer, a maker of gaming smartphones and related services, has announced an agreement with gaming publisher Tencent Holdings Ltd. to collaborate in several areas of mobile gaming and e-sports.

The companies will work together to optimize their hardware, software and services to provide more robust and interactive options to the world's 2.4 billion active mobile gamers, according to a company release.

Tencent, the publisher behind hit titles PUBG Mobile and Honour of Kings, will optimize its gaming titles for the Razer Phone and key accessories, including Razer-designed game controllers.

The firms will collaborate to optimize Tencent mobile games for the Razer mobile gaming platform and the Razer Cortex mobile game launcher, which optimizes game performance, launches games from a single location and recommends the latest gaming deals.

The companies also plan to optimize monetization of mobile games.

"Mobile gaming keeps growing at an incredible pace and at Razer we are poised to be a leader in the segment," Razer co-founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan said. "We have been working with Tencent since 2008 and are excited to now enter into a collaboration with them to spearhead future innovation in the space."
