READING, UK.- 30 September 2015-NVIDIA today announced that its first living-room entertainment device - the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV box - will be available to buy online and in-store on Thursday, 1 October, from select retailers in the U.K., France, Germany, and Scandinavia, as well as from the NVIDIA SHIELD store.
SHIELD is up to 34 times faster and has significantly more features than other popular media streamers*. This performance powers SHIELD's responsive and silky smooth user interface. It's the only smart TV console that can stream Ultra HD 4K content at fluid 60 frames per second (fps). And it provides a full range of gaming experiences - including the new GeForce NOW on-demand cloud gaming service - to TVs.
SHIELD is a fantastic, easy to use product - letting you use just one device for all your living room entertainment, said Jaap Zuiderveld, vice president of EMEAI at NVIDIA. Music, TV and film have already been transformed by streaming. With GeForce NOW, we are bringing that same disruption to games at simply incredible value.
GeForce NOW: The New Way to Game
GeForce NOW is a revolutionary game-streaming service - like a Netflix for games. It includes unlimited streaming of more than 50 popular PC games, including titles from the Batman and Lego series. New AAA blockbuster games like The Witcher 3, Saints Row: Gat out of Hell and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 can also be purchased and played instantly from the online game store.
"GeForce NOW is part of the future of gaming to me. Being able to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at a moments notice, all streamed seamlessly, is just mind blowing," said Damien Monnier, Senior Gameplay Designer, CD PROJEKT RED.
Members connect to NVIDIA's powerful cloud-gaming supercomputers located in Central and Northern Europe, select a game and play at up to 1080p at 60 fps quality within 30 seconds. No more waiting hours for digital downloads.
GeForce NOW is free for the first three months on SHIELD devices, and then just 9.99/£7.49 per month. The service touches down in Europe on Thursday, 1 October.
