Open the Google Play Store from the Shield's home screen.

My Apps are located at the bottom of the page.

Before installing the app, you may need to approve the app's permissions.

You may also choose each app separately and choose Update.

Updates for Android TV applications aren't very often. They usually include a significant UI overhaul or other general improvements when updates do arrive. It's critical to keep your applications up to date to take advantage of new features and bug fixes.

NVIDIA does an excellent job of keeping the Shield TV up to current with the newest Android and gaming capabilities. However, certain app upgrades may exacerbate rather than resolve difficulties. In such a scenario, you may go back and delete the most recent Update using the same instructions, which is very useful if something goes wrong with one of your favorite applications.
