Last month, Polygon had a chance to go hands-on with nearly the entire launch lineup for the Xbox One at a San Francisco event.

Collected in this StoryStream are our previews of the games early adopters will be playing following the console's Nov. 22 launch, interviews with designers and Microsoft executives and our impressions of the console's new Kinect functionality. Titles like Dead Rising 3, Forza Motorsport 5, Xbox Fitness and more were on hand for us to demo, and their respective creators were available to shed more light on their titles.
