After being left behind after the launch of Oreo, Asus’ ageing Nexus Player is getting some love today with Oreo based factory images and OTA files now available.
The files are hosted, as usual, on the Google Factory Images page with the build # OPR6.170623.021. There was some confusion with the Oreo update as it was bundled with the September security update for Android, but up until now no Oreo based factory images or OTA’s for the Nexus Player have been available.
The files are available to download and side-load or flash as required right now, but your Nexus Player should be getting Oreo based updates now.

I think ours has been running it via the Beta program for months.
