However, GeForce NOW isn't cheap, as it costs a whopping $25 for 20 hours of play. It will let anyone on a PC or a Mac stream games that are powered by Nvidia's high-end Pascal PCs, as the company hopes to give everyone with a computer access to powerful video games even if they cannot afford to buy their own high-end PC or Steam Machine to run then. Separate from the Shield TV's Steam streaming capability, this streaming service is described as "basically a GeForce gaming PC on-demand," by Nvidia. Amazon Video content can be streamed in 4K, while there are also plans for 4K HDR streaming support for both Netflix and YouTube, which should be good news for gamers wanting to get their Let's Play fix in 4K.ĭuring the keynote, Nvidia also unveiled a new version of its GeForce NOW game streaming service.

The new Nvidia Shield TV, which will cost $200 when it goes on sale in North America and "select European regions" later this month, also features Google Assistant (support will be added "in the coming months") and 4K video streaming. Just like Valve's own device, the Steam Link, the new Nvidia device will allow users to stream their library of Steam games and play them on their TV via the Shield TV's Steam app. However, under the hood, it's packing several new features that should appeal to gamers, such as the ability to stream 4K HDR gaming from a PC. This new Nvidia Shield TV, which is an Android-based set-top box, looks the same as its predecessor. In addition to talk of Nvidia's new self-driving car system as well as its plans for AI, the company also announced a brand new TV device, as a follow up to the Nvidia Shield that was released in 2015. While the most-talked about aspect of Nvidia's CES 2017 keynote was the reveal of a brand new Mass Effect: Andromeda gameplay trailer, that wasn't the only thing that the tech company had to show.

Nvidia announces a brand new Nvidia Shield TV device with 4K support and Steam streaming capabilities, and also unveils a revamped version of its GeForce NOW streaming service.
