Microsoft has put the final nail on the coffin for the Kinect Adapter as it confirms that the company has discontinued production for the accessory. This means it’s going to be almost impossible (or really expensive if you try to find some online) for new Xbox One S and One X owners to get an adapter if they don’t already have one. Microsoft ran a promo offering the dongle for free to Xbox One S owners who wanted to use their old Kinects with the new system but later charged US$39.99 for them. According to a statement the company released to Polygon, “After careful consideration, we decided to stop manufacturing the Xbox Kinect Adapter to focus attention on launching new, higher fan-requested gaming accessories across Xbox One and Windows 10.”
