Mouse and keyboard on Fortnite. (Xbox Cloud Gaming)

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues using mouse and keyboard on Fortnite via cloud gaming.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

As your reference, please be guided with the information and steps from this page in order for your mouse and keyboard to work with cloud gaming: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/....

On the page it says: "Things to keep in mind:

Fortnite supports play with mouse and keyboard, although it’s not marked with a mouse and keyboard badge."

Thank you for your cooperation.

Currently only Minecraft (without the "Xbox One Edition" in the title) is playable with keyboard and mouse.

All other games, including Fortnite do NOT work with Keyboard and Mouse on the Xbox One.

If you want to play Fortnite with Keyboard and Mouse, you can do that on a regular Windows PC.

Thank you.
Just to confirm, is Fortnite installed on your console, or are you playing via cloud gaming?

This question is asked because cloud gaming doesn't support keyboard and mouse.

However, if you have the game installed, could you try another game compatible with mouse and keyboard and check if the issue persists or not?

Below, I'm going to share a website that has a list of every Xbox game compatible with keyboard and mouse, try one of that list besides Fortnite:

good evening

Keyboard and mouse support for Xbox Cloud Gaming is not currently available. There are a few reasons why this might be the case.

One reason could be that keyboard and mouse support for Xbox games on console has been a controversial topic in the past. Some players feel that using a keyboard and mouse gives players an unfair advantage, as they can be more precise and faster than using a controller. To address this concern, Microsoft has chosen to not offer official keyboard and mouse support for Xbox consoles, including Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Another reason could be that many Xbox games are designed to be played with a controller, and adding keyboard and mouse support could require significant development resources. It's also worth noting that some games, such as Fortnite, do have official keyboard and mouse support on Xbox, but this is implemented by the game developers and not by Microsoft.

I understand that you would like to see keyboard and mouse support added to Xbox Cloud Gaming, and I'm sorry that this is not currently possible. However, I don't have any information about Microsoft's plans for the future, so I can't say whether keyboard and mouse support will be added at a later date.

Hi there Matthias,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with using the keyboard and mouse on Xbox for Fortnite.

I recommend taking a look at the following articles:

• Mouse and Keyboard Support on Xbox One
• Fortnite Forums - Keyboard and Mouse support for Xbox One
  

Hope this helps.
