A post on Xbox Wire has confirmed the Xbox One Slim will not support Kinect. That is, unless you want to plug a Kinect adapter into the streamlined unit.
“Additionally, in order to make the Xbox One S as compact as possible and make all of these updates, we removed the dedicated Kinect port from the back,” Microsoft confirmed. “Kinect for Xbox One will still be compatible with Xbox One S via the Xbox Kinect Adapter for USB connection and offers the same great experiences as the current console.”
All’s not lost — those that have a Kinect can get an adapter for free.
“For fans that currently own a Kinect for Xbox One and plan to purchase the Xbox One S, we are offering a free Xbox Kinect Adapter,” Microsoft confirmed.
Thanks, Beau.
