If you're going to be banning keyboard and mouse players on Xbox, what about cross play...

Hello Destin T, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Policies may vary depending on the game and platform. Some games and consoles allow the use of keyboard and mouse, while others may restrict it or require special adapters.

As for cross-play, where players from different platforms like PC, PlayStation, and Xbox can play together, keyboard and mouse usage may be more common on PC platforms. However, some consoles may also allow keyboard and mouse use in cross-play, depending on specific policies and settings.

In short, although some cross-platform games allow the use of keyboard and mouse, not all games do. Additionally, practical limitations may prevent some cross-platform games from being compatible with all platforms. I hope this clarifies your doubts.

Best regards.

I'd hope there's co-op cross play, but not PvP cross play. Xbox One players would be at a huge disadvantage against keyboard/mouse players.

PC players will always have a advantage over console players. The precision with mouse and keyboard is superior. If you're on console and playing PvP, I always recommend switching Cross-play off.

Well you gotta remember you can use keyboard and mouse on consoles roo so your point is moot as previously mentioned and you would be limiting your play to non crossplay players which is few between

You can disable cross play on the system level with privacy settings of xbox

Start your Xbox

Proceed to console settings

Go to Xbox privacy found in account, privacy & online safety

Click View details & customise

Select Communication & multiplayer

Switch You can join cross-network play to Block

Restart your Xbox

but since the vast majority of xbox players play cross play whenever ps5 or pc or next gen consoles and the fact infinityw ard allows keyboard and mouse on consoles it's unlikely you won't run into keyboard and mouse players even limiting yourself to xbox one

And you would have a much smaller pool of players too

For the following to work you must make the menu selections using your keyboard. If you use the controller to make your menu selections to start the game you will be placed in a room for those with a controller and your keyboard/mouse will be non functional
to make it fair to other players. To enter the room for keyboard and mouse users the game must be started by selecting the options using the keyboard/mouse. Hope this helps.

Mouse and keyboard support

Fortnite on Xbox One supports the ability to play with a mouse and keyboard. Note that when using a mouse and keyboard on Xbox One, you’ll be placed in a game with other users who also chose mouse and keyboard as their control option. To enable your setup
to use mouse and keyboard, see Mouse and Keyboard Support

Note If you’re on a child account, you’ll also need to enable settings for cross-network play to use a keyboard and mouse while playing
on Xbox One.
