Tetris Effect release date revealed – is it coming to Oculus Rift or Steam, and do you have to use VR?

We know it's going to be wonderful, but what else do we know about the trippy puzzler?

TETRIS EFFECT is coming to PlayStation 4 on November 9.

The mesmerising puzzler was announced just before E3, and we think it's likely to be the most immersive VR experience you have this year.

Enhance, the studio behind the mesmerising take on the puzzle classic, finally narrowed the 'Fall' launch window via Twitter today.

Developer Tetsuya Mizuguchi has revealed that the game has been in the works for over 15 years, since the release of Rez in 2001.

Will it come to Steam, or Oculus Rift?

Unfortunately not. Tetris Effect is a PlayStation exclusive, at least for the time being.

There are not plans to bring it to any other platform that have been made public at this time.

Do you need to have PSVR to play Tetris Effect?

No, you don't.

You can play it using a normal TV as well; if you have a PS4 pro, then it will run in 4K at 60 frames per second.

How many modes and stages does it have, and will they all have their own music?

It has over 30 different stages, and it has been confirmed they will all have their own look as well as their own music.

You will be able to play in the Marathon, Sprint and Ultra modes you'd expect in any Tetris game, as well as a few others which haven't been released yet.
