Despite a brand new Kinect being packed-in with every launch Xbox One, there’ll be no Kinect launch title from Microsoft itself. The device can, needless to say, be used to navigate the console with voice commands, but that won’t exactly justify its inclusion in launch boxes to many gamers. And, sure, Ubisoft could be there to pick out up the slack with Fighter Within and Just Dance, however it does seem odd that Microsoft is so bent on making Kinect a compulsory element of its next-generation plan with out a launch title for the peripheral.

Today Microsoft announced a stop-game measure for this oversight, revealing that a preview of what’s to come back with Kinect can be available on launch day. a unique free trial of Kinect Sports Rivals would be available for download on November 22. The “Preseason” download features the wake racing mode from the complete game.

Xbox One owners should be ready to benefit from the Kinect Sports Rivals Preseason from launch day until sometime in March 2014 – presumably across the time the whole game could be released. The free trial can have monthly challenges and opportunities to earn and unlock in-game items resembling jerseys or wake racers. The in-game items will carry over to the entire game, and Xbox One owners who download the trial sometime between launch day and November 30 will receive a “Founder” title and exclusive in-game items.
