What you need to know
Xbox Game Pass for PCincludes some highly rated and popular titles, includingMicrosoft Flight Simulator, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, andGears Tactics. Now, the game subscription service has the “most played video game ever,” Solitaire. While that might seem like a small title in comparison to those already on the service, the Xbox Game Pass for PC account on Twitter seems to disagree, at least for the sake of a funny video.
The account shared a comedically over-the-top video hyping the launch of Solitaire on Xbox Game Pass for PC. The video includes explosions, neon Comic Sans text, and plenty of exclamation points. We’re not sure if Solitaire is destined for our list of thebest games on Xbox Game Pass for PC, but the video is certainly something.

Specifically, Xbox Game Pass for PC subscribers can download the ad-free edition of the Microsoft Solitaire Collection. Some have complained that Solitaire gained ads in 2015 since the game was free and ad-free for years. While this news doesn’t make it free for everyone, it brings the title to PC gamers with an Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription.
On a more serious note, our games editor Jez Corden recently wrote about howXbox Game Pass for PC is not good enough. As funny as a launch trailer for Solitaire is, Corden’s arguments about the service still hold true.
A bunch of games
Microsoft’s PC game subscription includes some great modern titles. Now, it also has Solitaire for some old-school gaming.
