Kinect Sports Rivals is a sports video game developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox One.[1] It is the fourth game in the Kinect Sports series following Kinect Adventures and utilizes the console's Kinect motion-sensing camera.[1] The game was announced during Microsoft's E3 2013 press event and was released on April 8, 2014.[2]

Gameplay

The game features sports such as bowling, jetski racing, rock climbing, soccer, target shooting, and tennis.[1]

Development

The staff size for Kinect Sports Rivals was 150.[3] Originally intended as a Xbox One launch title, the game was delayed from November 2013 to April 2014.[4] Ex-Rare designer Gavin Price commented on the development of the game in 2015: "During Rivals' development, Kinect kind of got dropped quite suddenly. I think in part it was because we missed the launch date - I don't think that did us any favours! But we managed to get a jetski demo out for Xbox One's launch, and we had our cloud-based Avatar creation system with the facial recognition as well."[5]
