Xbox Cloud Gaming adding mouse and keyboard support
Including Fortnite, Halo Infinite and Sea of Thieves.
Microsoft is adding the ability to use a mouse and keyboard to its suite of games available through Xbox Cloud Gaming via browser, or the Xbox App on Windows PCs.
For now, only a small number of games offer mouse and keyboard support, and only for Xbox Insider members testing new features via the early Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. The option will then be rolled out to more players in the future.
Currently supported titles from Microsoft include Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Pentiment and Halo Infinite. Other big-name games include Fortnite (through a browser only) and ARK Survival Evolved.
The full list of supported Xbox Cloud Gaming titles lies below:
- Fortnite (browsers only)
- ARK Survival Evolved
- Sea of Thieves
- Grounded
- Halo Infinite
- Atomic Heart
- Sniper Elite 5
- Deep Rock Galactic
- High on Life
- Zombie Army 4 Dead War
- Gears Tactics
- Pentiment
- Doom 64
- Age of Empires 2
If you're on a browser, you'll need to enable Preview features by clicking on your profile at Xbox.com/play and heading to your Settings menu. From there, enable "Preview features".
