Earn Achievements for Burning Calories




Kinect PlayFit is now available on Xbox Live in the United States. Available on the dashboard. Kinect PlayFit tracks calories burned while playing Kinect games, including support for Dance Central 2, Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 and Kinect Star Wars.


Players will be able to keep track of their personal stats over time, plus compare with others via global leaderboards. Achievements will unlock based on the calories you burn, as will Avatar awards.



According to Xbox Live’s Major Nelson, Kinect PlayFit is the first ever fitness tracking app on a video game console. It will be available in regions outside of the United States later this week.


This is just part of Microsoft’s continued initiative to promote fitness via Xbox Live, joining the announcement of a Nike Plus Xbox Live app during E3.
