Xbox 360 games that require the original Kinect sensor will not be backwards compatible on Xbox One due to hardware restrictions, Microsoft has confirmed.
The restriction means that multiple first-party games likes Kinect Sports, Kinect Star Wars and Kinectimals will never be supported by the service, and is due to the console offering a software-based solution to backwards compatibility.
USB-based Xbox 360 peripherals won’t be supported on Xbox One either, meaning that players likely won’t be able to use Xbox 360 fight sticks or steering wheels even when playing backwards compatible titles.
Xbox 360 backwards compatibility launched to Xbox One Preview members earlier today, with the service due to roll out fully to all Xbox One users later this year.
The initial line-up of backwards compatible titles includes Mass Effect, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo and Banjo-Kazooie.
