(The Windows 8 version used the hidden Charms barВ instead of the visible hamburger menu.) The hidden debug menu from classic card apps is no longer present, В 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 VistaВ and 7, but the other themes are different. The software, designed by Microsoft StudiosВ and developed by Arkadium, includes KlondikeВ (classic Solitaire), Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, and TriPeaks game modes, as well as daily challenges. Unlike its predecessors, Microsoft Solitaire Collection is updated from Windows 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. Unlike the games included in Windows 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft Solitaire Collection is freemium adware with Xbox Live integration. It also adds Pyramid and TriPeaks to Windows for the first time and introduces new daily challenges and themes. It replaces Solitaire, FreeCell and Spider Solitaire included with the previous versions of Windows. Microsoft Solitaire Collection is a video game included with Windows 10.
