The Tetris Effect: Connected Beta Test just wrapped up last week, providing the developers and publisher Enhance with useful cross-play data. While Xbox and Windows 10 gamers have been enjoying the 'Connected' version of Tetris Effect for almost a year now, players on other platforms have had to wait. The wait will soon come to an end, as Tetris Effect: Connected will officially launch on PlayStation and Steam on August 18, with cross-play coming to all versions simultaneously.

Although Tetris Effect first launched as a PlayStation exclusive in 2018, the enhanced co-op version Tetris Effect: Connected that came along in late 2020 has been exclusive to Xbox and Windows 10 for quite a while now. A free PlayStation beta test version is currently available to download in advance of the full game's July release, giving players a taste of sweet cross-platform co-op.
