Kinect 2.0 finds a home on PC July 15

4.4
The Kinect 2.0 may have split from the Xbox One, but it will be ready to find new love with PC partners soon. A Microsoft Store listing highlights a July 15 release date for the Xbox logo-less, PC-compatible 3D camera, meaning we can put Xbox head Phil Spencer's belief that people will still buy the Kinect to the test as soon as next week.

The PC version of the Kinect 2 boasts a price tag of a not-insignificant $200 - $100 more than the price difference between a Kinect-less Xbox One and an Xbox One with the peripheral pack-in.

No you can't, not a PC one... this can't go into an Xbox One.

Firm Great...-_- Xbox/Microsoft really do try to squeeze money out of anything they can don't they?


They've gotten rid of a product on the Xbox that they can still sell. Simple as, you make a product that can make you millions, would you try and sell it or just say " Nah, let's not sell it and make millions because people will say we're squeezing money. "

Potion It's good that it's coming to PC but I don't think many games will support it. Can't wait to see some of the mods people will come up with.


Not much mods at all will be released with it. It will sell to a few indie devs for animations and other than that it is just a $200 webcam. Currently r/pcmasterrace does not like it.

Julianoz1224 It would be great for using motion capture with animation, just look at what this guy did with the Kinect 1

Looks like some devs will love this then!
DayZ could do with taking a look at Kinect for mocap animations.
