Tetris® Effect is 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).

NOTE: STANDARD GAMEPAD RECOMMENDED
Although we support all types of motion controllers, Tetris® is always best played with standard controller over motion controllers.

ANOTHER NOTE: Headphones are highly recommended.

● When playing the game with Oculus, click on the gear icon on the right of “Launch” and please select Launch in Oculus VR.

● When playing the game with Vive, click on the gear icon on the right of “Launch” and please select Launch in SteamVR.

JOURNEY MODE
This is the main campaign and the heart of Tetris Effect. After choosing from one of three difficulties (Beginner, Normal, Expert), players journey through a series of stages, each with their own theme, graphics, music, sound effects, etc. all of which sync to the gameplay.

EFFECT MODES
These are all the other modes in the game – a collection of varying setups and rules designed to evoke different moods the player might be in (or want to be in), as well as varying skill levels.

Effect Modes are divided into four categories based loosely on what “effect” we want the player to come away with, i.e. chill out with “Relax,” concentrate with “Focus,” enjoy the familiarity / nostalgia of “Classic” modes, or try something unique with “Adventurous.”

EFFECT MODES: WEEKEND RITUAL
A special "Weekend Ritual" event will run for 24 hours each weekend, during which all players of the Weekend Ritual can play a specified mode to earn points towards a Community Goal. If 100% of that Community Goal is reached in the 24 hour period, a special in-game avatar will unlock for all players who participated in the event. A Weekend Ritual event like this will run every weekend after launch, spotlighting different Effect Modes each week.
