Game publishers Enhanced Games has released patch notes for update 1.3.1 on its way to Tetris Effect. The game was first released in 2018 as a modern take on the 1984 classic, Tetris. The puzzler has since gone on to release across all consoles, even getting a VR version for the Oculus Quest in 2020. Tetris Effect has been praised by both critics and gamers, leading to an enhanced version called Tetris Effect: Connected, launching in 2020.
