Xbox One: mouse and keyboard support for 15 titles

In October, Microsoft released a firmware that expands the game console and includes mouse and keyboard support. Starting next week, the first games will support this feature. A total of eight games with the mouse and the keyboard can be played by the end of November.

This was announced by Redmond at the Xbox event "Ks018". One of the first games played with the mouse and the keyboard is the Fortune shooter from Epic Games. For three days the update for Fortune and Varframe will be available. According to Polygon, it follows in November, among others, Bomber Crev, Var Thunder and Ks-Morph Defense. Seven other titles, including DaiZ, Moonlighter and Vargroove, will later be equipped with mouse and keyboard support.

Forty gamers compete against PC gamers

In order to prevent dishonest situations in the game, all Xbox controllers are separated from the player using the mouse and keyboard in Fortune. Therefore, Ksokok owners could only compete against other consoles. This will change from next week: If you play with your mouse and keyboard on Xbox One, in the future you will face Xbox players with the same setting or even a PC player.

In addition, Microsoft has announced cooperation with the Razer hardware maker. Two companies want to develop several wireless mice and keyboards specially designed for Xbox One.

Basically, game developers are free, regardless of whether they integrate mouse and keyboard support in their own games. However, so that the majority of console owners are not in a disadvantage, the gamepad can not be completely replaced.
