Tetris: The Grand Master 4 Comes to Switch on June 4, 2026

Arika says the Switch port preserves core modes, changes difficulty, alters replay storage, limits keyboard support

Overview

  • Arika will release Tetris: The Grand Master 4 – Absolute Eye on Nintendo Switch on June 4, 2026 following a 2025 Steam debut.
  • The Switch build retunes MASTER and SHIRANUI difficulty and updates some title names, and Arika has removed the Steam option for CPU Level 0 in SHIRANUI.
  • Replay functionality on Switch is capped at about 16MB of saved data, players can delete replays from the menu, and the game will warn when replay storage is full.
  • The Switch version supports only one USB keyboard connection type compared with up to six on Steam, and Arika lists the Japan price as JPY 2,800 with Western pricing still unconfirmed.
  • The release revives Arika's niche, skill-focused Grand Master line that began in 1998 and these platform-specific limits could change how high-level players practice and compete on Switch.
