Buzz Saw helps you advance by clearing away a number of your lines, especially useful when you’re in a spot of trouble.

· Endless – Keep clearing lines until your stamina runs out.

· Ultra – Race to score as many points as possible before time runs out in this three-minute challenge.

· Sprint – Clear 40 lines as quickly as you can.

· Battle – Go head-to-head to knock out challengers.

· Challenge – With four mode variants, be prepared for a variety of challenges that will put any player’s determination to the test:

o Master – The Tetriminos drop instantly and appear at the bottom.

o Rotation Lock – The orientations of the Tetriminos are random and you cannot rotate them.

o Escalation – As the game levels up, you’ll have to clear more lines.

o Invisible – The Tetriminos become invisible as they drop to the bottom.

Tetris Ultimate will also be available digitally this winter on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation^®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC with PlayStation^®Vita handheld entertainment system releasing in 2015.
