With the rise of battle royale games such as Fortnite, PUBG and the latest addition to the fray in Apex Legends, it was just a matter of time before things start getting out of hand.

But while many might look at Tetris 99 with scepticism, the idea is actually quite a refreshing one.

Rather than taking on the iconic puzzle game in isolation, Tetris 99 puts you in the thick of a competitive mode with 98 other players until there is only one player remaining.

Players can also sabotage other players by throwing tetrominoes to mess up with their flow.

Tetris 99 is now available for free for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
