How does backwards compatibility work on the Series X? Not only that but despite being dated, some of them will even look better than they ever have before when played on the X. With the games that will work, Microsoft are taking it seriously and have said that they have sunk over 500,000 hours of testing into it to make sure that the games will play as expected. So much so that Microsoft announced they were discontinuing the device back in 2017, so it working alongside the next-generation console was almost always certainly never going to happen.

Despite the motion-sensing device being a big focus for Microsoft when it first launched for the Xbox 360, it never really took off in the way that they had hoped. Kinect-based games not working on the Series X is unlikely to surprise anyone.
