Gameplay
The game features sports such as bowling, jetski racing, rock climbing, soccer, target shooting, and tennis.
Development
The staff size for Kinect Sports Rivals was 150. Originally intended as a Xbox One launch title, the game was delayed from November 2013 to April 2014. Ex-Rare designer Gavin Price commented on the development of the game in 2015: "During Rivals' development, Kinect kind of got dropped quite suddenly. I think in part it was because we missed the launch date - I don't think that did us any favours! But we managed to get a jetski demo out for Xbox One's launch, and we had our cloud-based Avatar creation system with the facial recognition as well."
Reception
The game received average review scores, getting scores of 7.3/10 from IGN, a 7/10 from the Official Xbox Magazine UK, and a 6/10 from Polygon. According to review aggregators GameRankings and Metacritic, the game received a mean review score of 64.18% and 60/100 respectively.
A source indicated to Eurogamer that Rare Ltd. suffered a significant loss on the project.
