The world ofTetris Effectis becoming more connected. A free update toTetris Effectwill bring current owners intoTetris Effect: Connectedon Aug. 18, coinciding with the trippyTetris‘ launch on Steam.
Thefree update to all existing versionsofTetris Effectadds the co-op and competitive multiplayer modes highlighted in theConnectedupdate that was, previously, on just Windows 10 and Xbox consoles. That’s Connected, Zone Battle, Score Attack, and Classic Score Attack, whichall sound like a pretty alright time.
Tetris Effect: Connectedwill also be truly connected, as in, cross-platform play will be available between the Steam, PlayStation 4, Epic Games Store, Oculus Quest, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 versions of the game. There are also some bonus features coming, like a new Spectator Mode, PAL and “Slow” speed modes. Oculus Quest 2 headsets also get a performance vs. fidelity option, and PS4 copies will be available to Remote Play.
Essentially, it’s alotofTetristhat’s on the way. This is a game that’squite literally stood the test of time, though 2018’sTetris Effectfelt likean amazing new take on it. It’s cool to see all theConnectedoptions and updates finally rolling out to other versions of the game.
If you pickTetris Effect: Connectedup on Steam too, there are a few bonus goodies for those who have held out for so long. SomeTetris Effect-themed avatars and wallpapers will be available, as well as a seven-track soundtrack sampler by Hydelic, a previous pre-order bonus for the game on PS4 and Epic. So yes, if you’re like me, reading that means you’re probably already opening up the soundtrack inwhatever audio streaming service you haveand listening to it again.
TheTetris Effect: Connectedupdate goes live on Aug. 18 for all available versions.
