Google releases OTA updates for the Nexus family of devices. The source code for Android is public, so it is up to manufacturers to download the latest and generate new firmware versions for the devices already out there.

Most manufacturers have been rather slow at pushing updates, but Motorola seems to be doing it right and they've already released Kitkat for the Moto X, and the Moto G update should be coming soon.

For the other devices (Samsung, LG, Sony, ...) you'll probably have to wait a few months to get Kitkat - unless you have a Google Play edition phone.
