Microsoft has just launched a brand new puzzle game for Windows 8.1 called simply Jigsaw, thus allowing you not only to solve a specific puzzle, but also to create your own custom ones using locally stored photos.

The game comes with support for up to 216 pieces on 4 difficult settings, three different game modes, namely Classic Jigsaw, Jigsaw Jam, and Daily Challenges, leaderboards, and Xbox account support.

“Introducing the all new Microsoft Jigsaw - the perfect fit for your Windows 8 device! Play hundreds of puzzles in three exciting game modes: Classic Jigsaw, Jigsaw Jam, and Daily Challenges. Intuitive controls make Microsoft Jigsaw great on your mouse & keyboard and excellent on a touchscreen,” the game description reads.

Since it's made by Microsoft, Jigsaw works on both desktops and tablets, including those running Windows RT, such as Microsoft's very own Surface RT. Of course, it's better to play it on a touch-capable device, so make sure that you have your tablet around when planning to solve a new puzzle.

Overall, this is just another high-quality addition to the Windows Store, so download Microsoft Jigsaw for Windows 8.1 right now to bring the classic puzzle gameplay right in the touch-optimized UI of your new computer.
