Nvidia is ready to unleash the true potential of its Shield handheld device by adding a few noteworthy features.
First up, gamers will now be able to stream their sessions from their PC to the Shield, even if they’re on the go, using the just-added Gamestream service. The games need to be purchased beforehand and part of the gamer’s PC library, and, from there, they can be streamed rather easily, provided the user has access to a strong-enough Wi-Fi signal.
“In eight short months, Nvidia Shield has come on leaps and bounds, gaining over half a dozen game-changing, innovative, revolutionary features that cannot be found elsewhere,” said Nvidia tech evangelist Andrew Burnes. “Furthermore, existing features and support have been radically enhanced, and all around extra care and attention has been lavished upon Shield’s software.”
The other updates include support for Bluetooth peripherals (including mice and keyboards), as well as an updated TegraZone app portal.
The update should be available shortly, and will be free of charge.
