E3 2016: Xbox One S Will Not Have Dedicated Kinect Port

4.4
At the top of Microsoft’s press conference at E3 2016 yesterday, one of the expected announcements was the reveal of the Xbox One S, a smaller, more compact version of Microsoft’s console that will also seem to be eschewing built-in support for the Kinect.

In an update from the Xbox Wire, Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox One S will not feature a built-in port for Kinect like the previous iteration of the console, with the company confirming that the port was excluded “to make the Xbox One S as compact as possible.”

The company explained however that Kinect will still be supported on the Xbox One S, with Microsoft to offer Kinect owners a USB adapter that can be obtained for free through their website once the Xbox One S launches this August.
