It is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Meta Quest 2, Oculus Quest and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 4.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Tetris Effect: Connected adds an all-new robust multiplayer expansion to the huge variety of addictive and innovative single-player modes that Tetris Effect is known for. Connect and play with or against each other in all-new modes like "Zone Battle," which shakes up traditional 1-on-1 Tetris gameplay via the time-stopping Zone mechanic, or try the innovative co-op of "Connected" mode, where up to three players can literally connect their Tetris playfields together and play as one, as they work together to take down a series of increasingly-challenging CPU-controlled bosses.
