Why are gases less soluble in low pressure s and high temperatures?

That is a great question... I understand why they are less soluble at high temp but I never got why it also the case at low pressure.... High temp increases the average kinetic energy, which make the gas molecules easier to escape... May be at low pressure it is also easier for the gas molecules to overcome their intermolecular interactions, which consequently make them easier to free themselves from each other...
