Nvidia hat das Shield TV Experience Update 8.1.1 veröffentlicht. Es enthält Fehlerbehebungen zur Verbesserung und zur Steigerung der Stabilität. Auch die Kompatibilität mit anderen Home-Entertainment-Geräten wird verbessert (inkl. Xbox Elite 2 Controller).
Darüber hinaus können alle Shield-Besitzer können mit der kostenlosen GeForce-Now-Mitgliedschaft Spiele über ihr Shield-TV-Gerät spielen. Um bevorzugten Zugang zu den Servern sowie längere Sessions zu erhalten, besteht für einen begrenzten Zeitraum die Möglichkeit die kostenlose GeForce-Now-Mitgliedschaft auf die Founders-Mitgliedschaft zu upgraden. Die Shield-Besitzer können so Spiele wie Darksiders Genesis und Deliver Us To The Moon auszuprobieren, die ebenfalls mit dem Update zum GeForce-Now-Angebot auf Shield TV hinzugefügt wurden.
