Big Block DLC

Players can get additional modes for Tetris 99 as they are
released with a one-time purchase of just $9.99 for this DLC*. The
initial included game modes are:

  • CPU Battle – Play Tetris 99 offline against 98 CPU players.
  • Marathon – Challenge yourself in this offline mode to clear the most
    lines and score big.

Information about additional upcoming game modes will follow at a later
date.

As noted above, the CPU Battle and Marathon modes are played entirely offline.
This means that any Nintendo
Switch
player without a Nintendo
Switch Online
membership who wants to play Tetris 99 can do
so by purchasing the Big Block DLC. Playing the game’s Tetris 99
online mode, however, still requires Nintendo Switch Online.

3rd
MAXIMUS CUP

Starting on May 17, the next MAXIMUS CUP online event is available for
all players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Like the last
MAXIMUS CUP, this free event awards various points for each match played
during the event period, even if they don’t come in first place.

The 3rd MAXIMUS CUP runs from 12 a.m. PT on May 17 to 11:59
p.m. PT on May 19. The higher that players place at the end of each
match, the more event points they earn. Any participants who earn 100
event points during the three-day period will unlock an in-game theme
inspired by the original Game Boy game. For more details
