Remember Puyo Puyo Tetris? PS4's second best take on the Russian puzzler after Tetris Effect, the competitive puzzle game combines the block-laying game with SEGA's own Puyo Puyo in great style. Unfortunately, when it launched in the west back in 2017, it was only possible to buy the game physically, which is unusual in this day and age. The reasoning behind it was unclear, but we're pretty sure it was some sort of licensing issue.
Anyway, whatever the reason for a disc only release, today sees the release of the game on PlayStation Store, finally making it available to purchase digitally. The odd circumstances around this game's scattered release schedule will no doubt never see the light of day, but it's nice to finally have the game on the Store for those that want it. If you're curious, it's also relatively cheap, going for £15.99.
Were you frustrated about Puyo Puyo Tetris' limited launch on PS4? Are you tempted to grab it digitally now you have the option, or is it too late? Clear some lines in the comments below.

Might pick this up after being a bit disappointed with paying £35 for tetris effect.
After playing tetris 99 I think all other tetris games pale in comparison.
I was very tempted by Tetris Effect after trying the free demo but just didn't think it justified its price tag
huh i had no idea it wasn't available digitally on ps4...i bought it digitally on switch when it came out
Played this on Switch. It's OK, but Tetris Effect has ruined me for other Tetris games, I think.
That’s odd that it wasn’t released digitally on PS4. I honestly didn’t know that. Fun game, I definitely recommend it.
@Marios-love-child Tetris Effect is the best Tetris game in recent memory followed by PPT. Tetris 99 is a distant third.
Noticed this on UK's PS store last night and it went straight near the top of my wishlist doc, as I'd played a friend's copy, loved it, and was searching for it on PSN not long ago before a google search told me it was only available physically because of weird Tetris laws (I prefer to have these kinds of games digitally, so very pleased).
@Quintumply
It's in the NA store now. I just bought it. I've been wanting this game, but didn't want a physical copy.
Thanks for the heads up!
@NintenGuy
Don't get me wrong, tetris effect in VR really is something else.
99 just wins it for me though as its just so easy to pick up and play for a simple short game... Also the fact its free if you have Nintendo Online
PPT is also the second best Tetris game on Switch now too.
Weird how this was digital elsewhere from the start though
@Marios-love-child. Tetris 99 is not really free. It's fun, but gameplay is based too much around randomness & luck. Tetris Effect has the best single player in the series history and tons of varient effect modes. Plus weekly events & fantastic VR implementation. PPT has a full story mode, arcade modes & couch co op so I can easily play with my friends. Also the NS version of PPT can be played anywhere unlike the online only T99. It's cool you like T99 as much as you do. I find quite a bit of enjoyment in it. It's just too barren & gimmicky. I literally bought nintendo's crappy online service for the sole reason to rent T99 myself. I'm already back on Tetris Effect though.
For me Tetris Effect is the best Tetris game. I have got better more quickly playing Tetris Effect than any other Tetris game before it. The reason is you can play for 2 - 4 hours and forget what you are doing. It's dead weird. Not in a million years did I even consider being capable to run master speeds yet I'm now regularly running 40 plus lines on master mode and getting better every time. (speed starts at M1 and increases).
I have PPT and its alright, I would actually say in pure gameplay terms it seems a touch more fluid than Tetris Effect where I have a few issues with block placement at high speed. But other than that TE is just better with zone, extra modes and the feel through VR and the graphical touches just seem better. T99 is great, I placed first last night what a rush that was! I'm worried how long it can maintain the player base if I'm being honest but it's a great game none the less.
For me;
Tetris Effect
Tetris on the Gameboy
T99
The next Tetris
Tetris Classic PC
PPT
Tetris Nes
Tetris Amstrad
Already got it on Steam - sorry psn.
