Xbox Cloud Gaming is adding mouse and keyboard support. People with access to a compatible device and a decent internet connection are able to enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming as long as they have a Game Pass Ultimate membership. Gamers are able to use the service on modern phones and some smart TVs as well.
As a part of Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Cloud Gaming comes with an array of perks and offers a wide range of options for gamers who are interested in variety. Game Pass receives new games constantly, which means that there is almost always a new selection to try out while enjoying some of the service's most popular games, like Fortnite and Halo Infinite. There has been an obstacle, though. Although phones offer touch screen controls, most other options require a controller in order to play.
An Xbox blog post shows that mouse and keyboard support is coming, which will alleviate the issue of needing a controller for browser and PC gamers. So far, the feature has only been offered to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring of Xbox insiders, an invite-only group who are given access to Xbox updates early, but the feature shows promise.

If anything, this just means that Xbox's potential consumer base is expanding.
With a Game Pass membership and the most powerful system currently available, the Xbox Series X offers access to a virtually limitless selection of games. The Xbox Series X also boasts stunning graphics and lightning-fast loading times, delivering an unparalleled gaming experience.
