Playing your PC games like Gears of War 4, Shadow Warrior 2, or Titanfall 2 on your TV has never been better than with NVIDIA GameStream. And now with the new SHIELD TV, the experience is even better.
In the past, gamers who wanted to play their PC games on their TV had to get a dedicated living room PC, or use some ultra-long HDMI cables. With SHIELD TV, the solution is simple: GameStream. GeForce GTX GPU owners can now cast their PC games to their TVs via SHIELD at resolutions up to 4K HDR.
Cast Games in 4K HDR
If being able to cast games in full HD 1080p or 4K wasn't awesome enough, NVIDIA is bringing GameStream in 4K HDR to your SHIELD TV.
Simply put, HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a new standard for Ultra HD TVs that brings image quality much closer to the natural world. With HDR, your TV effectively comes to life with richer colors, more details, and brighter imagery. And now with SHIELD TV, you can even cast games that support the standard to your HDR-enabled TV with GameStream.
With GameStream technology you can easily cast games in 4K HDR from your GeForce GTX-powered PC to your SHIELD TV! We're also continuing to optimize and support 4K and 5.1 surround sound for compatible games.
Now With Steam Support
Described as "the ultimate entertainment platform", Steam is hands down one of the most popular services for PC gaming. Boasting a library of thousands of games including blockbuster and indie titles as well as many free-to-play games, chances are if you're a PC gamer you're all over Steam. GameStream now supports the Steam Big Picture app from the home screen. Fire up GameStream and you'll instantly have access to Steam Big Picture mode.
Even more Control
SHIELD TV and GameStream bring a new dimension to PC gaming and the new SHIELD controller adds support for Haptics to the SHIELD / GameStream experience. In addition, we've added support for UWP (Universal Windows Platform) games like Minecraft and Gears of War 4, just to name a few.
