Which console first received Tetris Effect in 2018?

The PlayStation 4 was the first console to receive Tetris Effect in 2018.

Tetris Effect launched worldwide on November 9, 2018, exclusively for PlayStation 4, with support for PlayStation VR. Its stages combine traditional tetromino placement with synchronized music, changing visual themes, and effects designed to make the player feel immersed in the rhythm of the game.

The title’s name refers to the phenomenon in which people who play Tetris for long periods may continue imagining falling blocks after stopping. Producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi had wanted to create a music-driven Tetris game, and development began around 2012 after discussions with The Tetris Company.

Later releases expanded its audience. The PC version arrived in 2019, the Oculus Quest version in 2020, and Tetris Effect: Connected reached Xbox platforms in 2020. Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 versions followed in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
