Microsoft Solitaire Collection was first made available for free download in Windows 8's Windows Store. The app has a dedicated page for statistics on Klondike, Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, TriPeaks, Daily Challenge, and Star Club. When a player wins a game, the game will randomly select a card animation based on animations from previous versions of Windows card games. (The Windows 8 version used the hidden Charms bar instead of the visible hamburger menu.) The hidden debug menu from classic card apps is no longer present, and the drop-down menus have been replaced with a universal hamburger menu and in-game hint and undo buttons at the bottom of the screen. Other new features include in-game music, cloud syncing, and Xbox Live integration. It is also possible for users to create their own custom themes. The default theme is similar to the default theme for card games in Windows Vista and 7, but the other themes are different. Microsoft Solitaire Collection, designed by Microsoft Studios and developed by Smoking Gun Interactive (formerly Arkadium), includes Klondike (classic Solitaire), Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, and TriPeaks game modes, as well as daily challenges. Unlike its predecessors, Microsoft Solitaire Collection is updated via the Microsoft Store and communicates with a Microsoft server in order to track achievements and offer daily challenges. At the time, the developers considered the game a tool for helping users become more familiar with Windows 8. The app's hub-based design was originally inspired by the design for Windows 8's Start screen in 2012. (An older version of Pyramid was previously bundled in Microsoft Entertainment Pack 2 under the name "Tut's Tomb", and an older version of TriPeaks was previously bundled in Microsoft Entertainment Pack 3 both made the cut for Microsoft Entertainment Pack.) Unlike the games included in Windows 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft Solitaire Collection is freemium adware with Xbox Live integration. It also introduces Pyramid and TriPeaks to Windows for the first time, as well as new daily challenges and themes. It combines the Solitaire, FreeCell and Spider Solitaire titles that were included with previous versions of Windows. Microsoft Solitaire Collection is a video game developed by Microsoft Casual Games and published by Xbox Game Studios for Microsoft Windows.
