NVIDIA SHIELD’s Integrated Gaming Libary

NVIDIA Games is a gaming library app found on NVIDIA SHIELD devices that will support your expansive gaming lifestyle. Using NVIDIA Games, you can play premium Android games and stream incredible graphics with such ease. Since SHIELD devices are both for multimedia and games, you can also play your Android games on your own TV.

Your Gadget for Entertainment

NVIDIA SHIELD—also known as the SHIELD Android TV or SHIELD Console—is an Android TV-based digital media player produced by technology company NVIDIA as part of its SHIELD brand of Android devices. The SHIELD can play downloaded games and stream them either from a compatible PC on a local network or through the GeForce NOW subscription service that NVIDIA offers. Similar to other Android TV devices, it can stream content from various sources using apps and supports 4K resolution, as well. It even has Google Assistant support. NVIDIA advertises it as the “essential streaming media player for the modern living room.” It’s an all-in-one streamer, game console, DVR, media server, and smart home hub with voice assistants. Whether you want movies, shows, games, or music, the NVIDIA SHIELD can play it.

Only on SHIELD

For its games section, you get the NVIDIA Games library interface. This app allows you to download and play Android games on your SHIELD device and even stream it on your television screen. NVIDIA Games acts similarly to online digital distribution platforms of games such as Steam, Origin, and UPlay—however, unlike them, it’s exclusive to NVIDIA SHIELD devices and includes mobile games in its selection of available titles to play. If you’re subscribed to GeForce NOW, you can also play GeForce NOW games with NVIDIA Games. These games’ graphics are of high quality and NVIDIA SHIELD is equipped to render them flawlessly. You can also use this app to play your PC games on your TV

Can’t Really Choose

In terms of performance, NVIDIA Games satisfies well enough. NVIDIA SHIELD has got everything you might need for entertainment in one convenient device and NVIDIA Games’ special feature of letting you play your Android games without your phone is really handy. NVIDIA also updates frequently enough for its gaming community. However, this app comes with a wide packaged lifestyle due to what the SHIELD device is, so you still need to assess if this will fit with what you like.
