Nvidia Shield TV is getting a new update. The manufacturer is not abandoning the iconic device.

Although many older Android TV devices have long lost support from manufacturers, Nvidia once again shows that Shield TV is an exception to the rule. The company recently confirmed that it does not plan to end support "in the near future," and has now released a new system update. Users are currently receiving Shield Experience 9.2.4, which is the first major patch of fixes since May 2025.

Shield Experience 9.2.4 – what does the update change?

The new software mainly focuses on stability improvements and security. The most important change is the implementation of security patches from January 2026, which is rare for several-year-old multimedia devices.

The list of fixes includes:

• fixing the playback issue with Disney+

• resolving the error with connecting external remotes (including Xbox controllers after waking from sleep)

• eliminating the accidental waking of the device and equipment via CEC

• stability improvements for Bluetooth remotes

• removing the bug that closed settings when activating NVIDIA Share

This is a typical "quality of life" update, but for users, it means genuinely better stability and fewer annoying issues.

Nvidia is not ending support. Or maybe a new model?

Importantly, Nvidia has explicitly declared that it does not intend to abandon updates for Shield TV "in the near future." This is a strong signal for hardware fans, which has been regarded for years as one of the most powerful Android TV streaming devices. There are also speculations online that we may see a new device from this line in the future. For now, however, these are just assumptions. The fact remains that the last widely available update took place in May 2025, so the current rollout shows that Nvidia is still actively developing the platform.

Shield TV is still alive and in very good condition. Update 9.2.4 brings security fixes and eliminates annoying bugs, and Nvidia clearly states its continued support. In times when manufacturers quickly abandon older hardware, such an attitude really stands out.
