Watch the trailer for Tetris Effect on PC below:
Tetris Effect on Windows PC will include the ability to run at 4K resolution with an uncapped framerate, or on an ultrawide monitor. It'll support the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR headsets, alongside all accompanying controllers, as well as the regular gamepad. There's also a ton of new settings to tweak, spanning particle density, texture filtering and more.
A new mechanic dubbed "Zone" has been added too, which allows players to escape difficult situations that could otherwise mean Game Over.
Tetris Effect will cost $39.99 on the Epic Games Store, however, with preorders granted a further discount, pricing drops to $31.99. Anyone who preorders will also secure a bundle of digital extras, including ten 4K wallpapers and seven entries from the game's soundtrack.

Affordable accessories that'll pair perfectly with your PC
Every one of these awesome PC accessories will enhance your everyday experience — and none cost more than $30.
KLIM Aim RGB gaming mouse ($30 at Amazon)
Whether you're a gamer or not, this is an absurdly good mouse for the price. It's ambidextrous, has a responsive sensor, a braided cable, tank-like build quality, and, yes, it has RGB lighting, though you can turn it off if that's not your thing.
AmazonBasics USB speakers ($16 at Amazon)
These neat little speakers may only pack 2.4W of total power, but don't let that fool you. For something so small you get a well-rounded sound and a stylish design. And they only cost $16.
Razer mouse bungee ($20 at Amazon)
Use a wired mouse? You need a mouse bungee to keep your cable tidy and free of snags. You get no drag on the cable, and this one has subtle styling, a rust-resistant spring and a weighted base, all for $20.
