OBS Tetris Plugin - Play Tetris Directly Inside OBS Studio

This OBS Tetris Plugin adds a fully playable version of Tetris directly inside OBS Studio as a native source. It allows streamers and content creators to add a simple, familiar game to their scenes without using browser sources, external apps, or complicated overlays.

Once installed, the plugin can be added to any OBS scene like a normal source. You can resize it, position it, crop it, layer it with other sources, and use it during livestreams, recordings, waiting screens, or intermission scenes. The goal is to provide a lightweight and practical plugin that works naturally inside an OBS workflow.

What the Plugin Does

The plugin lets you play Tetris directly inside OBS. The game includes classic block movement, rotation, line clearing, score tracking, level progression, a running timer, pause state, game over state, and a next-piece preview. These elements make it useful not only as a fun stream feature, but also as a clear visual element for viewers.

The left side of the source displays useful gameplay information such as score, level, cleared lines, and timer. This gives viewers a quick way to understand how the current game is going without needing extra explanation.

Designed for Streamers

This plugin is especially useful for streamers who want to make their OBS scenes more interactive. It can be used on a starting soon screen, during a break, as a challenge segment, or as a background activity while talking to chat. Because it runs inside OBS, it stays part of your existing production setup.

The plugin does not require a separate game window. This helps reduce clutter on your desktop and makes scene management easier. You can keep your stream layout organized while still adding something playable and entertaining.

Hotkey Based Controls

Controls are configured through the OBS hotkey settings. After adding the plugin source, open OBS settings, go to the Hotkeys section, and assign keys for movement, rotation, soft drop, hard drop, pause, and reset.

This makes the plugin flexible because you can choose the controls that work best for your keyboard layout, stream deck, macro pad, or personal workflow.

Useful for Different Stream Layouts

Since the game is added as an OBS source, it can be adapted to different layouts. You can make it large for a dedicated Tetris scene, place it in a corner as a small activity panel, or use it as part of a larger livestream overlay.

It can also be combined with webcam frames, chat boxes, alert widgets, countdown timers, sponsor graphics, and other OBS sources. This makes it suitable for both simple and more advanced production layouts.
