You can check out an explainer video above, demonstrating the new modes. The video also features comments from pro-Tetris players Blink and Yoshimi.
The PS5 edition of Tetris Effect: Connected will include additional features including support for Haptic Feedback on Dual Sense, PSVR 2 Sense, and the PSVR 2 headset. as well as 4K resolution support. The PSVR2 release will also support eye tracking, and will allow players to select their zone of choice by looking directly at the zone and performing a hard blink. Nice touch.
