Tetris Effect is dropping onto PC next week with VR support

After being exclusive to the PS4 for quite some time, Tetris Effect is officially dropping onto the PC, via the Epic Games Store, next week on July 23rd, 2019.

The ultimate, 4K-enabled PC version by Enhance Games and Monstars will also feature optional VR support for the Oculus Rift and the HTC VIVE too, and we assume it’ll be just as good as the impressive PlayStation VR experience. Make sure to check out our original PS4 version here.

More About Tetris Effect PC
Tetris Effect is Tetris like you’ve never seen it, or heard it, or felt it before?an incredibly addictive, unique, and breathtakingly gorgeous reinvention of one of the most popular puzzle games of all time, from the people who brought you the award-winning Rez Infinite and legendary puzzle game Lumines. Fully playable on either a standard display ? up to 4K and 60fps on a PS4 Pro / unlocked resolution and uncapped framerate (with Vsync disabled) on PC ? or optionally in mind-blowing 3D on PS VR and soon on Oculus Rift and HTC VIVE.

Music, backgrounds, sounds, special effects?everything, down to the Tetriminos themselves, pulse, dance, shimmer, and explode in perfect sync with how you’re playing, making any of the game’s 30+ stages and 10+ modes something you’ll want to experience over and over again.

A challenge for the mind and a feast for all the senses, Tetris Effect is the perfect excuse to play Tetris again… and again…and again, and again, and again and again and again and again and again and again and?

KEY FEATURES

  • VR Optional: Playable on your PC desktop, or in full VR with your Oculus Rift or HTC VIVE headset and accompanying controllers (standard gamepads, Vive Controllers, and Oculus Remote and Touch controllers are all supported).
  • All-new ?Zone? mechanic: Players can stop time (and Tetriminos falling) by entering ?the Zone? and either get out of a sticky situation that could otherwise lead to ?Game Over,? or rack up extra Line Clears for bonus scoring rewards.
  • Over 30 different stages: Each with its own music, sound effects, graphical style and background that all evolve and change as you play through them.
  • Enhanced PC visuals & more: Unlocked resolution and an uncapped framerate if Vsync is disabled, increased texture and particle effect options, support for super high-resolution and ultrawide monitors, and more.
