It’s taken much longer than expected but is finally bringing keyboard and mouse (KBM) support to certain titles. that the company planned to do so in March 2022 and it was suggested that the option might be available by that June, but evidently that did not happen. It’s only now that

is starting to on the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring check out KBM functions on web browsers (Edge and Chrome) and the Xbox PC app. The feature should be available more broadly soon.

, select Settings and then turn on “Preview features.”

Some supported games might still show controller elements on screen at first. You might be prompted to press A to start the game or some such. However, the game should switch to the KBM user interface as soon as you move the cursor or press a button. On browsers, KBM will only work when you’re playing in full screen mode and you’ve clicked on the game stream for it to recognize your mouse input. You can exit KBM use by pressing F9 or hold the ESC button to leave full-screen mode.

The first Xbox Cloud Gaming titles to gain KBM support are Fortnite (browsers only), Ark Survival Evolved, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Halo Infinite, Atomic Heart, ******* Elite 5, Deep Rock Galactic, High on Life, Zombie Army 4 ***** War, Gears Tactics, Pentiment, ***** 64 and Age of Empires 2. There is a known issue for Atomic Heart at the minute.

notes that there’s some difficulty switching between a controller and KMB while streaming that game.

This is a welcome update, especially for those who want to play first-person shooters with a KBM setup but don’t have a PC with enough oomph to run current games natively. It’s a good step forward for accessibility too. Xbox’s cloud gaming tech is pretty solid, but here’s hoping it can keep up with Fortnite players who can build elaborate structures in nanoseconds.
