Nvidia Shield TV: How to add PS5 DualSense and Xbox Series X/S controller support
Nvidia Shield TV needs to be updated to version 8.2.2 to start the process of connecting the PS5 DualSense and Xbox Series X/S controllers to the media player. Once that is done, users can start by pairing the controllers to the Nvidia Shield TV via Bluetooth.
When pairing is complete, PS5 DualSense users need to press the Create button placed above the arrow keys until the blue light starts flashing. Note that the Create button is used to be known as the Share button on the DualShock. As for Xbox Series X/S controllers, press the pair button on top until the Xbox button starts blinking.

The list includes some highly anticipated AAA games from 2020, such as “Cyberpunk 2077,” “Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla,” “Watch Dogs: Legion,” and “Destiny 2: Beyond the Light.” The breakout game of 2020, “Among Us,” is now available to subscribers as well.
