Xbox One may still get keyboard and mouse support

4.5
We could be looking at official keyboard and mouse support for Xbox One sometime in the future.

Microsoft’s mission to bring Xbox One and Windows 10 closer together have pushed many to wonder if this commitment to PC will also benefit Xbox One. Namely, when it comes to the control methods available to the latter.

With games such as Halo Wars 2 on the horizon, adding official keyboard and mouse support could make the game more enticing for some, even if it’ll already be available on PC.

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer says keyboard and mouse support is something the company would like to add, but can’t promise anything. The executive told a fan this on Twitter.


Of course, Microsoft never actually announced the feature, and as it stands, you can only use controllers to play Xbox One games. That said, adding mouse and keyboard support will open a whole new can of worms when it comes to balancing online competitive play.

I don't see the point adding these if they're making Scorpio. Yes I understand making games. But these are pointless to most users.

Hollywood_Undead Xbox originally told us it would have K&M functionality. but not at launch.
Its being heavily delayed. Most likely until they get cross platform rolling faster.
And by cross platform i mean windows 10 pcs with game mode on. Not steam, not mac, no origin either.


what does that mean, Why on earth would steam, mac or origin have cross platform play to Xbox. The whole point is to make money for MS and buy games on the MS store. By cross platform you mean cross platform. Why would mac have cross platform, that whole platform is garbage and a direct competitor to MS.

Nicholas I think that it would be really cool to be able to play games on the xbox like you are able to on PC!


It is a great concept but i think a good pc player is better than a good xbox player just due to precision of the mouse.

I agree it would be a great addition.

This would only be fair because of how future games are starting to have cross platforming with Xbox one and Windows 10.. This seems fair to me.
