Xcloud gaming with keyboard as Insider

That's because you are using the wrong platform

You gotta remember you are using the xbox version on a pc

That's why your are seeing it in menu

That's your mistake

Xcloud only supports controllers

But on the xbox or the pc you can use keyboard if the games support it

You have to.directly install it not use xcloud as mentioned. You can use keyboard on an actual xbox or pc

Not xcloud

I have found this extension during my researches :

Keyboard & Mouse for Xbox xCloud (idolize.github.io)

But I think that not making this kind of solution available by default sets PC gamers aside...

But I'm not talking about a game supporting M/KB, but more XCloud supporting M/KB on titles that do have support for it like Halo Infinite.(Which you can blatantly see in the settings menu, having Keyboard and Mouse support in the XCloud version)

XCloud currently just forces you to use a gamepad no matter what.

😐

I think it is needed to add support of keyboard and mouse when streaming via xcloud in PC.

Since you are playing it om pc why not locally install it
