Rumors about the alleged upgrade to the Nvidia Shield TV streaming box are getting intense. Just days after Google's developer tools seemed to be referencing an updated Nvidia Shield TV, it seems there's more going on than we thought. An anonymous source who spoke to The Digital Fix claimed that the Nvidia Shield TV update would not only be imminent this year, but would launch in November alongside Google Stadia, the upcoming game streaming platform hoping to offer an affordable alternative. to traditional game consoles. We know that Google Stadia will launch in November and will be available on various display devices, including laptops, tablets, and even Google Pixel smartphones. Stadia promises to offload most of the processing power needed to run games to an external server, though some minimal hardware requirements are needed for the program to work. It makes sense for Stadia to connect to streaming devices like the Shield, which has enough processing power to run the service, and which runs on Google's Android TV platform while also being able to stream content. In 4K and HDR resolution. We know that Stadia will also play attractively on Google's Chromecast streaming dongle, and it looks like Google is making concerted efforts to strengthen its Android ecosystem with the upcoming gaming service. The source also apparently indicated that the new Nvidia Shield would be offered in a controller-less model and would support the Google Stadia controller, which is already available to order ahead of the Stadia's launch.
