Kinect PlayFit launches in US

Microsoft’s new Kinect fitness initiative goes live today in the US.

Kinect PlayFit takes the form of a new dashboard for Xbox 360 that keeps track of your efforts in compatible Kinect titles, aggregating all of the information in a single resource.

Confirmed currently compatible games include Dance Central 2, Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 and Kinect Star Wars, The Verge reports.

PlayFit will also offer additional Achievements and Avatar Awards as well as online leaderboards.

The service is expected to roll out to other non-US territories by the end of the week.
