Candy Crush Meets Solitaire: King's Newest Title Under Microsoft's Wing

King, renowned for the wildly successful Candy Crush saga, has just unveiled Candy Crush Solitaire for iOS and Android, marking their first new game since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October 2023. This release merges the addictive gameplay of Candy Crush with the classic card game, Solitaire.

Microsoft’s Solitaire has remained a popular choice, and the Candy Crush franchise boasts a massive mobile gaming audience. This new title aims to bridge these two worlds, offering a blend of familiar elements and fresh challenges.

“We saw an opportunity to bring together two timeless gaming experiences, Candy Crush Saga and Solitaire, both of which offer a satisfying balance of relaxation and challenge,” said King Executive Producer Marta Cortinas on Xbox Wire.

Candy Crush Solitaire, a TriPeaks Solitaire game, introduces escalating levels and mechanics similar to Candy Crush. Unlike Klondike Solitaire, TriPeaks requires clearing boards by playing cards in ascending or descending order.

“Its mechanics provide a great blend of strategy and progression, similar to how players advance in Candy Crush levels,” said Cortinas about Candy Crush Solitaire. “From there, we layered in the signature Candy Crush Saga elements, colorful boosters, engaging progression, and collectible rewards, ensuring that players would recognize the familiar sense of accomplishment and fun from our franchise.”

Candy Crush Solitaire is currently available for iOS and Android devices. Android users can also find the game on the Amazon App Store and Samsung Galaxy Store.


King’s latest offering blends the best of both worlds. Combining the strategic depth of TriPeaks Solitaire with the addictive, colorful elements of Candy Crush Saga creates a game that will appeal to both casual and seasoned players.
