Kinect Sesame Street TV is an "interactive television" video game aimed at young children for Xbox 360, and is based on the Sesame Street franchise. The game requires the Kinect peripheral and is compatible with Xbox SmartGlass.[1] It was developed by Microsoft Studios' Soho Productions and published by Microsoft Studios, and released in North America on September 18, 2012.[2]

The interactive episodes within the Xbox 360 game were also rebranded and sold as "Sesame Street Touch & Learn TV" for Microsoft Windows devices in 2013.[3]

Gameplay

The video game consists of eight 30-minute episodes, combining clips from the 42nd season of the television series with segments designed specifically for the game. Children can actively participate in tasks with the Sesame Street characters, like identifying letters or numbers through gestures and voice commands.[4] Eight additional playable episodes were released on January 7, 2013 in the XBOX Marketplace.[5][6]
