Cloud streaming platform Xbox Cloud Gaming is now getting support for mouse and keyboard. Originally only supporting controllers, the platform has started the process of allowing players to play games with more traditional PC gaming controls.

Not yet available to all Xbox Cloud Gaming players, the new feature is has only been rolled out to Xbox Insider members in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring for testing purposes. Once enough players have had a chance to test the feature, it will then be rolled out to the rest of the user base.

Next month will see more games coming to the service through Game Pass, including Ark: Survival Ascended, F1 23, and Superhot: Mind Control Delete.
