This will enable PC games to be played using more natural methods, although it’s only in the public test phase at present.

Xbox Insiders have started to receive a software update that adds a great new feature for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

They will test it first before it will roll out to all players, but it’s especially exciting for those who make use of the Xbox Cloud Gaming service that’s part of membership.

That’s because it finally adds keyboard and mouse support for games, which potentially opens up the cloud streaming platform to a far wider array of titles, including PC strategy games. It also means that some games, such as first-person shooters could offer mouse controls as well as gamepad – something many hardcore gamers prefer.

The update is available to Xbox Insiders on the Alpha-Skip-Ahead ring, so is only in its early stages of public testing. Those on the Insiders program get early system software builds to try out new features and capabilities before they make it onto everyXbox Series XandXbox Series S.

However, some features released in preview builds never make it into the wider world, so don’t hold your breath quite yet.
