What Happens If You Plug A Kinect Into The Xbox Series X?

Officially the Xbox Series X does not support the Kinect sensor or Kinect games at all even through backwards compatibility. But what happens if you tried to plug a Kinect in the Series X anyways? Let's find out!



Stay tuned!

It's a shame. Just Dance without Kinect is like crossing the atlantic without a Concorde. Technology going backwards

[markh]

How funny it is that the Kinect went from being a device that was force-fed to you when the Xbox One originally launched to being completely relegated to the dustbin of history with the launch of the Series S and Series X. It is not even acknowledged!

[marsilthend]

wouldnt be surprised if the hacking scene figures out how to enable kinect usage later on down the life of the unit

Microsoft: “No work.”
Generalkidd: “Try anyway.”

Daily Generalkidd Pun:
I guess it just couldn’t...

I kinda hope Microsoft brings back the Kinect but with a VR headset or something

It's a real shame MS has stripped support for the kinect out of the system.

I honestly liked the feature of being able to use it for the qr scanner to redemeem dlc codes that came with physical discs.

To think MS even went so far as charging for an adapter for it to work on the One X.... It really has become such a pointless device. It's a shame.

Microsoft needs to make a new Kinect for the new Xbox

[Madoomabusa]

Missing this feature so much on the Series X, Microsoft sure did take a good step backwards with this

[Vitor.S.]

I wonder why they removed the support to the Kinect if the console uses the exact same UI Xbox one does

[SanativeSparrow]

This was an interesting question I've been wondering since they said that. Thank you!

[Marinealver]

The problem with Kinnect is Microsoft's marketing team are full of idiots that said DRM is a fantastic idea.

General Heed answering everyone’s questions since 2007

[supamadevu]

Thanks, you save me the money for the adapter and the frustrating waiting time for it.

Kinect was a great feature but they just needed to stop shipping it with the console and just sell it as a side thing.
It's a shame they dropped it...

Kinect games were so cool on XBox 360 and I was waiting for a next-gen console to play next-gen games and to play Kinect games with fast load as well. That's so sad that Series X doesn't have Kinect support :(
Is there any kind of petition that we could vote for to get support of Kinect games on XBox Series X? )

[silverlining]

I liked using the voice control on the kinetic. It's a shame it's not compatible anymore.

[roguespartan]

There are people vaping their XBOX, and this absolute Chad is here answering our questions

[adnancharif]

I really liked how Xbox made Kinect. It was so fun, and the games that came with the 360 were awesome.
Then some worse games were released on the X1, and it was forgotten.
Now it's abandoned.
...
That's fine! I play MCC and Doom Eterna more anyways

[PlayerZeroStart]

That kinda sucks. I know nobody liked the Kinect, but even if they never made any more Kinect games, they could at least include compatibility so people can play old Kinect games.

Will the camera work in Skype when you enable video in settings because there are other people showing random webcams working on Xbox Series X with Skype.
