TETRIS BATTLE ROYALE?

Players will be able to attack others with garbage to make their game’s more challenging. As usual with battle royale, the last-person standing will win.

Tetris 99 will be free to download for Nintendo Switch Online members later today.

The game is likely being released free for members as a way to drum up more subscriptions for the service, after the company recently expressed concern about the number of short-term versus long-term subscriptions.
