Today, Nvidia announced the Shield Experience Upgrade 8.0 update for the Shield TV. The update finally brings Android 9 Pie to the Shield TV, the first Android TV device to get Google's latest version of Android.
Pie streamlines the interface to make it easier to access your apps and settings. Along with an updated interface are updated colors, improved organization, and a streamlined set-up process. There's also a heavier emphasis on Google Assistant, with an enlarged microphone icon and search area at the top of the main menu.
