Play Xbox Cloud Games on Xbox Consoles with Mouse & Keyboard

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.

the xbox cloud gaming on keyboard and mouse

I know, i just wish more games supported the use of keyboard and mouse. the thing is, if I wanted to play with friends they would also need a PC but they don't. so I was like, oh I can just play games through the cloud and play console games with my friends who only have an xbox. but it would also be nice for me to use a keyboard and mouse through the cloud gaming. but whatevs.

Anyone know if they're planning on bringing mouse and keyboard support to cloud gaming? Be nice to play games on any laptop with a mouse and keyboard.
