Nvidia isn’t just ending support for GameStream, it’s planning to fully remove the feature from existing Shield hardware in February.

Nvidia is planning to remove GameStream, a feature for streaming PC games, from its Shield TVs and tablets. GameStream has been a feature of Nvidia Shield devices ever, allowing Shield owners to stream games to their TV from a PC at up to 60fps in 4K resolution.

Shield owners will be disappointed to hear that Nvidia isn’t just discontinuing its GameStream feature, but it’s actually going to remove it from devices. AnNvidia recommends Steam Link instead Nvidia is recommending that Shield users switch to Steam Link, which is a similar way of streaming PC games to a Shield device. You’ll need the Steam Link app on your Shield TV to get access to streaming games from your gaming PC. Nvidia also lists GeForce Now as an alternative, but you won’t get 4K streaming and high frame rates without subscribing to the cloud gaming service.

You can refuse the Nvidia Games app update and GameStream will continue working for some time, but Nvidia warns it “will no longer be supported and eventually will stop working.” You’ll also need the latest Nvidia Games app to access services like GeForce Now.
