Ditch your controller as Xbox Cloud Gaming is getting mouse and keyboard support

Xbox Cloud Gaming has been present for years, but it seems that it will finally get some much-awaited features.

Microsoft is currently testing mouse and keyboard support for Xbox Cloud Gaming, and here’s what we know so far.

Mouse and keyboard support in Xbox Cloud Gaming is now available for testing

Currently, to use Xbox Cloud Gaming, you need to use an Xbox or a verified controller. This can be a problem for PC gamers who are used to a mouse and keyboard, but that won’t be a problem anymore as IGN writes.

According to Xbox Wire, you can now use a mouse and keyboard while playing games in Edge, Chrome, and Xbox app on your PC.

The feature is available only to users enrolled in PC Gaming Preview, and to use it you need to enable Preview features in the browser. This can be done on the Xbox Play page by going to your user settings.

Currently, there are only 14 games that support this feature and some of them include Fortnite (only in the browser), ARK Survival Evolved, Grounded, Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite, Atomic Heart, High on Life, Sniper Elite 5, and more.

This is great news for all PC gamers who tend to use this feature, and we hope to see mouse and keyboard support available to everyone soon.

In other news, Xbox might soon get access to Epic and Steam stores, and there are also plans to bring most Xbox titles to PlayStation.
