Good news everyone! The new Nvidia Shield TV is here at last, and it’s never looked so good! Many here in the UK have been having trouble buying the Shield TV due to limited stock and often jacked up prices, but now it seems we know why stock was limited… they were making a new one!
The unit is now 40% smaller than the original, and now comes bundled with the remote and a new controller design for even better value for money. At just £189.99 you’ll not find a more feature-packed system on the market for this kind of money, and you certainly won’t find anything that comes close in terms of performance.
We actually got hands on with the new system at CES 2017 right here.
Highest Performance, 4K HDR Media Streamer
The new SHIELD TV delivers the richest visual experience with support for 4K HDR and 3x the performance of any other streamer on the market. With the addition of Amazon Video in 4K HDR, SHIELD TV offers the largest, most open catalogue of media in stunning 4K – also supporting Netflix, YouTube and Google Play Movies(1).
YouTube’s flagship TV app will also be available for SHIELD TV in the coming months, delivering immersive, 360-degree viewing experiences.
Amazing Games
SHIELD TV stands alone among media streamers, with the widest range of gaming capabilities and richest assortment of game content. Its library of games has been expanded to thousands of titles, with the ability coming soon to stream Ubisoft’s catalog of hits, including The Division, FarCry Primal, Watch Dogs 2, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, For Honor and countless others. New Ubisoft games will also be available, simultaneous with their PC release.
NVIDIA is expanding the GeForce NOW constantly with new releases nearly every week. Today we are also No Man’s Sky by Hello Games to the Cloud Gaming platform.
SHIELD TV also continues to add hit franchises to the platform natively. Upcoming games include, Tomb Raider, Shadowgun Legends and The Witness. The latter is available today on the Google PlayStore.
