How To Play Apex With Keyboard And Mouse On Xbox

Back in 2018, Microsoft did something that a lot of players had been hoping for: keyboard and mouse support on Xbox. While many prefer the experience and functionality of a controller, others like the precise controls that a keyboard and mouse setup tin can offer. What'south more, is that non everyone who likes using those peripherals can afford a mid- to high-end PC for gaming.

Using both a repository of games played and the list from the great folks over at Xbox KBM, nosotros've put together a listing of games on Xbox that back up keyboard and mouse play. While there are sure to be more games that come out that support keyboard and mouse on Xbox, these are titles that we know for sure piece of work right at present. That said, in that location are some that require a controller at first to get the game set up. As always, if you know of whatever other games, please leave them in the comments beneath and they'll be added to the list. We'll also constantly wait for games and update this list as new games are fabricated to fully back up it.
