Only available in Friend Matches, game sessions can include between four to six (depending on the game mode) spectators who can watch and even emote in real-time (via the right stick) along to the action. And unless you opt out of it via the Options, Ranked Matches will also bring in players from all platforms, all over the world, for a larger player base and better chance you can get matched with an opponent near your skill level. Invite PlayStation friends to Multiplayer matches directly as always, or share the four-digit alphanumeric Room ID code to challenge friends on whatever platform they game on! (If you’re a streamer and want to keep out uninvited guests, don’t worry - you can easily opt to hide your Room ID from the UI). Sounds good? It gets better-check out these added features, new to all versions of the game with this update: Cross-Platform Play This unforgiving version of Tetris is what’s used for pro competitions such as the annual Classic Tetris World Championship. Ok! First up, a quick primer on our multiplayer modes: Connectedįorm a three-player team to try and defeat A.I.-controlled Bosses (or player-controlled Bosses, during the Full Moon 24-hour event every weekend)-connect your Matrices as you all enter the Zone and clear Lines together to deal massive damage.Ī one-on-one score attack competition played using old-school Tetris settings, so no Hard Drops, no ability to Hold a Tetrimino, only one Tetrimino shown in the Next Queue, Tetriminos spin a bit differently-they Lock Down immediately when they touch a surface, etc. (As you read, just remember: All the following modes are fully playable on a standard screen, or optionally on PS VR-highly recommended if you’ve never tried it! And while Tetris Effect is a dedicated PlayStation 4 title, everything is of course playable on PlayStation 5 as well via backwards compatibility.)

Read on to find out more, including your chance to take part in the beta test! What does that mean, exactly? Well, a bunch of awesome local and online multiplayer modes, mainly, but also a lot of other new features, some of which we are announcing today, here for the first time. This July, all Tetris Effect owners will have the opportunity to download a free update that will transform their game into (dum dum daaaa!) Tetris Effect: Connected! That’s right, Tetris fans, the wait is almost over.
