The Kinect sensor and Kinect Adapter have been discontinued with these consoles. You can still use your Kinect with your [[Xbox_360_emulators#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|Xbox 360]] or [[Xbox_One_emulators#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|Xbox One]], but the sensor is not compatible with Xbox Series X|S consoles.

However it [https://old.reddit.com/r/HDDVD/comments/17hvav1/xbox_one_wont_read_hd_dvd_cheap_mistake/ does not have the capability to play HD DVD] and Video CDs because it does not have a built-in CD/DVD or HD-DVD drive. Additionally, the format is not supported by the Xbox Series X/S software. However, you can use an external USB CD/DVD drive to play Video CDs on your Xbox Series X/S, if the drive is compatible with the console and the video files on the Video CD are in a format that the Xbox Series X/S can play.

It should also be noted that the vast majority of Xbox Series X|S games are also available on PC (similar to [[PlayStation_5_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 5]], [[Xbox One emulators#Emulation issues|Xbox One (X|S)]] and [[PlayStation_4_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 4 (Pro)]] situations in recent years), so there is increased lack of interest to emulate the console. Having said that, there are still considerable amount of games exclusive to those consoles, this includes games for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S that haven't been ported and titles lacking enhanced/next-gen update for PC. See [[List of notable ports#External_links]] section for all of those games.
