NVIDIA has made available the download links for its stock recovery and developer-only 6.2.0 firmware packages compatible with the SHIELD Android TV, SHIELD Android TV Pro, and SHIELD TV 2017 devices, which include several mush-have changes and improvements.

Specifically speaking, now you can listen to Amazon Music from Android devices, enjoy HDR10 support (more vibrant colors) and control movies with Google Assistant, play Metal Gear Solid 3 HD game, and stream Destiny 2, FIFA 18, Star Wars Battlefront II and other titles to a 4K HDR TV.

Moreover, the 6.2.0 firmware gives owners the ability to control an ecobee thermostat, see your live Logitech Circle camera feed, and use LG SmartThinQ appliances via Google Assistant, and installs Movies Anywhere app (watch movies from iTunes, Google Play Movies & TV, Amazon Video, and VUDU).

Last but not least, NVIDIA has also managed to improve the SHIELD remote (2017) responsiveness, apply the latest monthly Android security updates, and include a few other changes as highlighted in the Release Notes below.

When it comes to installation, you should know that NVIDIA has provided both the OTA (Recovery OS) and Developer-only (rooted) images for its consoles. Also, make sure to familiarize yourself with the update steps before initiating the flash process.
