A presentation details some rules and guidance for developers on their implementation of mouse and keyboard support for Xbox. Gamepad support is still a requirement for all titles, and the Xbox can only support one mouse and keyboard per console, unlike gamepads, of which it can support several.
Microsoft also offers some guidance on the impact mouse and keyboard support might have for competitive multiplayer titles. It notes that it's entirely up to developers on how they want to utilize mouse and keyboard support, emphasizing that the presence of mouse and keyboard can be detected, meaning a developer could potentially lock players to specific playlists based on their inputs to preserve balance
"First-person roguelikes like Gunfire Reborn and Roboquest can be quite fun when done well. Another such game is MythForce, which comes from Beamdog, the developer that brought Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 to modern platforms (while mostly ditching the co-op). MythForce features cartoon-like visuals and a fantasy theme, making it quite different from most of its peers. It will soon reach its "final form" via the upcoming Version 1.2 update," says Co-Optimus.

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a new update after developers previously stated it no longer would, bringing the possibility of more still to come.
I'm hoping the update fixes their poor FSR 3 implementation, and add FSR 4. FSR 2 looks better than FSR 3 in CP2077 by a wide margin. On my 7900XT I just use XESS if I want to add RT at custom 3K resolutions. Already beat the main game, but half way through Phantom Liberty expansion. I would like to get back to it later on this month.
I'm interested to see where this goes. I think as long as controller people have aim assist, and the mouse sensitivity settings are restricted so they aren't capable of doing things someone on a controller can't (like flipping 180 degrees in a fraction of a second) it shouldn't be much of an issue on letting them play together.
Interesting partnership
I've heard this million times with different console.
It's not that hard to have mouse and keyboard to support xbox or PS. This is all garbage talk

So is this why Microsoft wants cross-play?
So that Xbox users can play against PS4 users using keyboards and mouse vs controllers?!
Can't you just use a regular mouse and keyboard? Isn't that an option? People who play most games at 30fps aren't really buying "high end" keyboards and mice, lol.
