Cross-play keyboard/mouse support for console

When cross-play launches for Apex Legends in October 2020, will Xbox console players be able to use keyboard/mouse as input method?

Hi @Chemex74

I think that would be down to Microsoft to make that decision on their console.

I’m a PC player and I play Warzone cross-platform and I still get wrecked by console players a lot of the time; they have good aim assist that makes a big difference imo.

Hi Carl!

I play Warzone and Fortnite on console, with KBM.....when you have those plugged in....there is no aim assist. Only on controller is there aim assist.

thanks for the reply.....I’ve been a PC gamer for years but got a console to play with friends. I’m terrible on controller tho. LOL

Have a great night!

@Chemex74 I’m not sure you’re supposed to use Kb/m on console atm so be careful what you play to avoid bans. But yes you lose all aim assist if you don’t use a controller.

I can use both but Kb/m just feels so much better to me 🙂

Happy gaming!
