Microsoft’s cloud-based gaming service, Xbox Cloud Gaming, will soon have new support. Until now, the games on the platform can be played with touch screen controls or with Xbox controllers over Bluetooth, but according to the new statements, keyboard and mouse support is coming to the platform.
Keyboard and mouse experience on Xbox Cloud Gaming
Microsoft is bringing a new boost to Xbox Cloud Gaming to improve accessibility and ease of use. According to the statements made by Microsoft Flight Simulator head Jorg Neumann in a question and answer program, Microsoft now wants to add mouse and keyboard support to some games.
Many games on the platform already have the necessary optimizations, but this keyboard and mouse support that will be offered across the platform will not be available for all games.
