Microsoft is confirming today that its Xbox Series X console won't support the existing Kinect accessory or the Xbox One games that are built specifically for Kinect. In a blog post laying out Microsoft's commitments for its upcoming Xbox Series X console, Xbox chief Phil Spencer reveals Kinect games won't be supported.

It's our intent for all Xbox One games that do not require Kinect to play on Xbox Series X at the launch of the console," says Spencer. "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."

Microsoft has previously been clear about supporting existing Xbox One games, including backward-compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games on the Xbox Series X. The lack of Kinect support is new, though. "There's no way for Kinect to work," confirms Spencer in an interview with The Verge. The rear of the Xbox Series X, just like the Xbox One X, does not include a dedicated Kinect port, and Microsoft won't be supporting the USB Kinect Adapter it discontinued back in 2018 after killing off the Kinect in 2017.


Good the Kinect was epic tech wise but for gaming it just upped the price of the console for something that will hardly be used.

Microsoft at the time looked at the Nintendo Wii and knew they could do better and they did but that did not mean people wanted it the whole thing with the Wii fell off quick once you had a few games.

I like the pattern/grip feature on the bumper and trigger.

Holy **** the controller looks so good! I am a big fan. Looks very ergonomic to me. Like something that is meant for a human being's hands.

I'm glad they kept it the same as the Xbox One with little tweaks the Xbox One controller IMO can't really be improved shape or size wise its pretty much perfect adding grip to the triggers is a useful addon.

Agreed. Seems as though the little tweaks are just minor improvements, not a major overhaul to the design. The grips look very nice. Curious to see how durable these are. I burn through like one Xbox One controller a month playing rocket league.

It's weird, this picture looks like it feels soft.
