Current Events > RIP Kinect

(+) Yeah! (+)

Your games will not be left behind, thanks to backward compatibility. You will be able to play four generations of games on Xbox Series X on day one. That makes it the largest launch lineup for any new console ever, with thousands of games to play. Our backward compatibility engineers have spent years devising innovative ways for modern, next-gen technology to make the games library youre building today even better, at no additional cost and with no work from developers. Its our intent for all Xbox One games that do not require Kinect to play on Xbox Series X at the launch of the console. And because of the unprecedented power of Xbox Series X, most of your favorite games will load faster and look and perform many times better on the new console.

At least the Ghost Adventures crew made good use of it.

I think I'm more sad about not being able to call the current X-box the Xbone anymore.

Fruit Ninja for the Kinect was fun but only for a few hours

sounds like this is only a problem for casuals who discard their old consoles as soon as a new one comes out

I don't think you can even use Kinect on the new Xbox One models unless you have some rare adapter.

I wasn't kidding, the ghost adventures crew had it turned into an apparition detecting device and they got some weird shit from it.
