There are five featured titles for this week, in addition to over 20 other titles making an appearance. All of the games listed below are available now unless otherwise noted.

Tetris 99

The iconic puzzle game Tetris arrives, but with an online experience like no other. In this next entry in the storied puzzle franchise, 99 players compete together until only one is left standing.

The Nintendo Switch exclusive is now available to download, and players can look forward to battling it out in upcoming online events.

Final Fantasy IX

Zidane and the Tantalus Theater Troupe have kidnapped Princess Garnet, the heir of Alexandria. To their surprise, however, the princess herself yearned to escape the castle.

Steins;Gate Elite

Follow a group of young, tech-savvy “lab members” who discover the means of changing the past via e-mail using a modified microwave.
