Henson swaps Redmond for Birmingham.
One of the chief architects of Xbox’s success and development has taken over Kinect Sports developer Rare as studio manager, Microsoft has announced.
Scott Henson, who will move from the US to Birmingham in January, has been with Microsoft for 16 years, working on the original Xbox, Xbox Live, Xbox 360, XNA Game Studios and Games for Windows Live. He played a key role on the hardware and software of the new Xbox 360 and motion-sensing add-on Kinect.
Henson joins the gang just in time for the release of Rare’s first Kinect game: Kinect Sports, on 10th November in the UK.
