Ask HN: What would be the cheapest way to play Tetris Effect: Connected?

2 points by gilloh 5 years ago | 1 comment

Dear all, I'm an addict. A Tetris addict. I fell in love with Tetris Effect the first time I laid eyes on it. Now in July comes the Connected update to all the supported platforms (including Steam). I come to you in order for some advice on how to play it at home, maybe on the TV big screen. I considered PS4, I could get a used one for cheap, but then I would have game cost and also would have to subscribe to Playstation Plus in order to be able to play online. XBOX systems have a similar problem, also requiring a monthly fee to be able to play online. I'm a Mac guy, use only Macs for work and personal activities. I don't think the Intel Iris Plus could handle TE:C. So now my last resort comes in the form of a Windows PC/laptop. Would you be so kind to suggest a Windows PC/Laptop minimum setup that I could buy in order to play TE:C comfortably at least 1080p 60fps? Thank you in advance.

You won't need much in order to run Tetris Effect: Connected as it's not a very demanding game. You can look up system requiremente here: https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/tetr...

BTW, this game is available in XBOX Game Pass program. Meaning by subscribing to the service you can get this game and many others on both XBOX and Windows 10 PCs (via Microsoft Store) with cross-save and cross-progression (Your save and progression will be synced between two platforms).

There are many ways to get free trials of Game Pass.

If you're interested in a XBOX, see if XBOX All-Access program is available in your country. That way you can get XBOX Series S with 24 months of Game Pass for just $25 monthly payment.
