Back: All ports on the Xbox One
- USB: The remaining two USB ports are on the back of the console. These are always USB 3.0 ports.

- LAN: A LAN connection is also on board. Of course, you can also connect the Xbox One to the Internet via WiFi.
- Kinect & Strom: There is not much more to say about these two connections - for Kinect you will of course need the appropriate accessories.
