TL;DR Google started updating its TV Streamer with Gemini last year, but we’ve been waiting for it on older streaming hardware.
We can now confirm that 4K Chromecast with Google TV units have started getting Gemini.
It’s not yet clear if Gemini is also on the way for HD versions of the Chromecast with Google TV.
Gemini is headed basically everywhere, across nearly every product Google touches — and if you haven’t seen it yet, that’s probably not a great sign for future prospects. That’s included the biggest screens in our lives, and last year we saw Gemini start coming to Google TV. By the fall, Gemini was hitting the Google TV Streamer, but what about the rest of Google’s own Google TV hardware? It’s taken a while, but we’re finally starting to see progress there.

Gemini’s been frustratingly slow (well, depending on your feelings about Gemini) to come to Google’s own streaming hardware, and even the Google TV Streamer missed the first wave. Once it got Gemini, though, our attention shifted to the older Chromecast with Google TV (CCwGTV) models — would they ever see Gemini themselves? Well, we’re not sure precisely when this happened, but it sure looks like sometime recently, Google started flipping the switch on Gemini for the 4K CCwGTV.
