A simplified version of [[Microsoft Outlook|Outlook]] was also added to the suite. They will be bundled with Windows 10 [[Windows 10 (mobile)|mobile devices]], and available from the [[Windows Store]] for the PC version of [[Windows 10]].<ref name=pcw-touchfriendlyoffice/><ref name=office-2016announce/> Although the preview versions were free for most editing, the release versions will require an Office 365 subscription on larger tablets (screen size larger than 10.1 inches) and desktops for editing, as with large Android tablets.
