Xbox Cloud Gaming is Getting a Major New Feature Soon
Xbox Cloud Gaming is adding mouse and keyboard support. People with access to a compatible device and a decent internet connection are able to enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming as long as they have a Game Pass Ultimate membership. Gamers are able to use the service on modern phones and some smart TVs as well.
As a part of Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Cloud Gaming comes with an array of perks and offers a wide range of options for gamers who are interested in variety. Game Pass receives new games constantly, which means that there is almost always a new selection to try out while enjoying some of the service's most popular games, like Fortnite and Halo Infinite. There has been an obstacle, though. Although phones offer touch screen controls, most other options require a controller in order to play.
An Xbox blog post shows that mouse and keyboard support is coming, which will alleviate the issue of needing a controller for browser and PC gamers. So far, the feature has only been offered to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring of Xbox insiders, an invite-only group who are given access to Xbox updates early, but the feature shows promise. Mouse and keyboard support have been enabled on an array of popular games, and the developers working behind the scenes are tackling known issues, like difficulty switching between a gamepad setup and mouse and keyboard while streaming Atomic Heart.
This new feature will help improve accessibility on Microsoft platforms while pushing towards Microsoft's growing focus on Cloud Gaming. There is a chance that as time passes, Microsoft will prioritize cloud-based platforms just as much as it does Xbox consoles, and it seems that may occur sooner than some have expected.
There are many players who just do not enjoy using controllers. The continued focus on features for Xbox Cloud Gaming means that players who prefer the service will have an easier time tackling some of the more demanding activities. This includes completing the longest games available on Game Pass.
