TETRIS THE GRAND MASTER 4 -ABSOLUTE EYE- Launches on Switch June 4
Arika announced on May 27 that TETRIS THE GRAND MASTER 4 -ABSOLUTE EYE- will release on Nintendo Switch on June 4, 2026, priced at 2,800 yen. The game is the latest entry in the TGM series, which began in arcades in 1998. A Steam version launched in April 2025, and the Switch port adjusts several features for console play. Modes include MARATHON for high-score chasing, NORMAL for speed-clearing, ASUKA with a rewind function for intermediate players, MASTER for experts facing maximum-speed drops, KONOHA which unlocks illustrations on clearing lines, and SHIRANUI for CPU battles. The Switch version changes difficulty in MASTER and SHIRANUI, renames some titles, removes SHIRANUI's CPU level 0 due to AI training policy compliance, caps replay save data at about 16 MB (roughly hundreds of replays), and limits USB keyboard connections to one. Alongside the Switch release, the Steam version's price drops to 2,800 yen, a 1,100 yen reduction.
