Microsoft today launched the "Microsoft Solitaire Collection" on iOS and Android, a package of classic Solitaire games that include Klondike, Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, and Tripeaks. As noted by The Verge, Microsoft's version of Solitaire has been available on Windows for more than 25 years, but this marks the first time that the game has been extended to other platforms.

The app will offer daily challenges for players, with four varying levels of difficulty, and Xbox Live integration will let anyone with a subscription to Microsoft's console service sign into their account, compete with friends, and earn achievements. Cloud saves will allow for multi-device use as well.

The World's #1 Solitaire game is now on iPhone and iPad! For over 25 years, Microsoft Solitaire Collection remains one of the most played games of all time and is now available FREE for your iPhone or iPad! The Microsoft Solitaire Collection offers FIVE of the best Solitaire card games in one app!

Microsoft Solitaire Collection is available to download for free from the iOS App Store [Direct Link], and there's also a premium upgrade that gets rid of ads, includes double rewards bonuses, and offers other incentives for $1.99 per month.

$2 a month to subscribe to a solitaire game? You're out of your mind, MS.

I was ridiculously excited until I saw the $2 per month subscription to remove ads. What??

I would have paid $2 one time to remove the ads, no problem.

I'll give it a shot with ads.. if they get to be insane then I'll delete it. 2.00 a month is nuts! Just put the app up for 5.00 total and live with it. Have addon's for 99 cents each like add your own graphics for the cards or something. But 2.00 a month, for a card game? Not going to happen!
