Staying indoors this Christmas? One of the several ways you could spend your time is by playing quality games while you are at it. If you own an NVIDIA SHIELD, 12 Days of SHIELDsmas will keep you busy.

Released at the end of May 2015, the SHIELD Android TV is powered by an octa-core Tegra X1 processor, packs a Maxwell-based GPU clocked at 1GHz, has 3GB of RAM, and can output at 4K resolution to external displays. It also supports 192 kHz high-definition audio. Read more about the $199 console here.

Until then, SHIELD Android TV owners and various other devices in the SHIELD lineup will discover a long list of discounted games on the SHIELD Hub and on GeForce NOW (NVIDIA’s own game streaming service).
