The feature allowed games stored locally on the PC to be streamed to Nvidia Shield TV in 4K resolution at up to 60 frames per second via the app. You can still use GameStream by simply not updating the app, but support will be discontinued and the feature may simply stop working at some point, Nvidia said.
