Microsoft's solitaire has a special place in our hearts, because it is the most famous and played computer game, with millions of hours of use both at work and at home.
The company is working to bring its popular game to iOS and Android platforms. The Microsoft Solitaire Collection, which is currently only available on Windows 10 devices, including tablets and smartphones, will soon be released on Android and iOS.
The company has already started sending emails to users enrolled in the Microsoft Casual Games Inner Circle program informing them about the new versions of Solitaire Collection and inviting them to try them out on their devices.
“Do you have an iPhone, iPad, or other iOS/Android devices? If so, then we have some exciting news: We are developing the Microsoft Solitaire Collection for iOS and Android devices and are looking for a team of passionate Solitaire players to help us test our beta version of the game as we continue to work on it,” the email states.
Without a doubt, the arrival of Solitaire on iOS and Android is yet another confirmation of Microsoft's increased focus on non-Windows platforms, an approach that has often received scathing criticism from Windows' most loyal fans.
Microsoft, however, has repeatedly stated that investing in rival Windows platforms is a priority for the company, and so it is very likely that we will see many similar attempts in the future.
