Tetris Effect: Connected is a renewed and enhanced edition of Tetris Effect, developed by Monstar and Resonair studios, originally released in 2018 as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. It is one of many variations of the most iconic games in history. Now, Tetris Effect game arrives on XBOX ONE and Windows OS. The new version of the game features the full original content and enriches it with additional multiplayer game modes. Additionally, the game offers full VR gear support and features cross-play on XBOX consoles and PCs with Windows OS.

Gameplay and game modes

The main gameplay does not differ from the rules of the original Tetris game. The player's primary goal is to place falling blocks called tetrominoes in the right position on the playfield, in order to create a full horizontal line. After achieving it, the completed line will disappear, making the space for another one. If any of the blocks will reach the top, the round is lost. However, unlike in the original game, now players have a chance to stop the time for a while and think about their next move.

The new Tetris game enhances the gameplay with spectacular visual effects and a characteristic soundtrack. The game features 27 different stages split into 7 areas. Besides single-player experience, Tetris Effect: Connected features totally new local and online multiplayer modes in which players can cooperate with a maximum of 3 other players, or compete during exciting ranked matches. While climbing up in the ranking, players will receive new in-game rewards for their efforts.
