Kinect hackers, rejoice! Your favorite hobby is about to get a bit easier. At its MIX 11 conference Wednesday, Microsoft announced that it’s opening a beta software development kit and that developers can now sign up for the spring SDK notifications.
Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet reported that Microsoft is planning to release a May 16 version of the kit for hobbyists.
The kit will include sketal tracking for one or two people, advanced audio capabilities and an XYZ depth camera to indicate an object’s distance from the Kinect.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.

Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Sweet!
