Tetris Effect: Connected includes an extensive expansion with multiplayer and single-player modes that have different mechanics and tasks to complete. New cooperative and solo modes are available, where players will interact with each other to achieve a common goal, or compete. The gameplay is typical of classic Tetris, but there are many other mechanics and elements of passage.

The new version of Tetris Effect features more than 10 modes and 30 single-player stages, where the user will have to perform hardcore tasks and solve puzzles related to rearranging objects in the correct order. Everything that is on the playing area vibrates, right down to the tetriminoes themselves. They are capable of exploding, dancing and flickering, performing actions necessary to complete the mission and synchronize with the player's movements.

The key innovation is the “Zone” mechanic. Gamers have the ability to stop time to take advantage of situations. If a participant enters the zone, he will be able to get out of a difficult situation that could end the session in defeat. To purchase additional bonuses, you will need to accumulate minor Line Clearings. These are moments when several columns in space are destroyed in one move. Gameplay supports 4K resolution and unlimited frames per second.
