NVIDIA’s SHIELD TV is now able to play 4K HDR PC games. The new update, which is available as a free download, brings support for games like Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 4, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The SHIELD TV was already a powerful device, but this new update makes it even more powerful. It can now handle high-resolution graphics and HDR content with ease. This means that gamers who have the SHIELD TV can now enjoy the best possible experience when playing their favorite PC games. This update also comes with other improvements, like faster performance and better compatibility with other devices in your home. So if you have an NVIDIA SHIELD TV and want to enjoy the best possible gaming experience, be sure to download the latest update! ..


There’s a lot packed into this new NVIDIA SHIELD TV update, but the thing that caught our attention the most is support for the highest tier of GeForce NOW. Using the power of the 3080 and the new Shield update, you can stream the latest video games in 4K resolution with HDR. The games also have immersive 7.1 surround sound, assuming you have the sound system to support it.

SHIELD Experience Update 9.0 also updates the streaming box to Android 11. While most Android devices are moving towards Android 12, the SHIELD is a little behind. Still, you get a refreshed interface, a new Gboard version, and plenty of other goodies with this update. It also includes Android security patch level September 2021.

Also making its way to SHIELD is IMDb TV, which gives you lots of free stuff to watch on your device.

The SHIELD TV is generally regarded as one of the best streaming TV boxes out there, so if you’re in the market for a high-end streamer that can do all sorts of stuff (including running 4K games, thanks to this update), it’s worth a look.
