NVIDIA to cancel GameStream service, forcing users to use Steam or the company's proprietary cloud service for continued gaming However, the software GameStream is quite outdated, which the green team has chosen to remove from its Shield TV product lines.
For functionality, the system is capable of not only Android game titles on the device, powered by the Tegra X1+ processor and an integrated 256-core GPU, but also efficiently utilizing cloud local LAN services. Shield TV has been a staple in the Android Set-Top box marketplace and has carried a hefty price tag.
The app will also be made available on Apple iOS and tvOS later.NVIDIA has recently announced the removal of the company's GameStream service from its Shield TV and Shield TV Pro products. You also need a bluetooth game controller. It currently works over Ethernet and WiFi but not yet over a 4G data connection. The system behind Steam Link outputs a MPEG4 H.264 encoded video stream from your graphics card and transmits it with custom low-latency protocol over the home network to a receiving app on a mobile device or TV screen. “You can go into the advanced streaming settings, and tune streaming resolution and bitrate for the best experience in your setup.” “If you have a powerful rig, wired network, and very good client device, it’s possible to stream at 4K 60 fps,” Sam Lantinga, Valve, told Variety. Valve tells Variety that the app defaults to 1080p at 60fps game streaming but that, if you have a fast and stable network connection, you can stream games in 4K at 60fps, too. It requires a PC or Mac with Steam installed.
With the Steam Link, PC and Mac games can be streamed over a home network connection either wirelessly with 5GHz WiFi or through a wired connection. It also works with Android mobile devices. It works with Android TVs such as those from Sony, Philips, and other brands as well as Android TV powered media players.

The app lets you play full PC games on your TV screen via home network streaming. Valve has released the Steam Link app in beta for Android TV.
