Here is a list of games that support M&K on xbox, it does not seem a "vast minority" to me. Also fortnite that is a battle royale exactly like Apex, implemented it, the simple solution is that when you connect the M&K to the console the game puts you in the PC lobbies, for me there is no reason why EA could still hesitate to do what so many other games have already done.
OK @prrnf7mot185 ,
Just to tease you a bit:
You have approx 3,000 games for the xbox platform.
You have now listed here approx 90-100 games w M&K support.
That equals still less than 3% of all games supporting M&K.
So yes, the vast majority of games do not support M&K for the game consoles. :o)
Now again, I am only on PlayStation myself; while 100% sure now with Microsoft's duplicate interests here, they are very eager for very strong commercial reasons to have their games available in xPlay, for both PC and xbox players, whereof sure you have many that have/wants to play on both platforms. And yes agreed, many of their PC gamers would also prefer to play on their xbox using M&K.
Please note I have nothing against M&K gamers, as long as I have a viable option to deselect playing with any of them. Had enough of the raging hacks and cheats on PC and reason why I stopped totally playing any online multiplayer games on PC and migrated entirely to PlayStation for such games. Sick and tired of those dominating 24/7 are those that pimp their PC rig with the latest and greatest hacks. While totally destroying the gaming pleasure for the vast majority of causal gamers who just want to have some relaxed fun with their online friends.
We can lay the responsibility on the console developer to be able for the game developers to sense what input methodology is used by the gamer, to enable that we the gamers will be able to choose who we want to play with or not of the different platforms.
As long as MSFT Xbox cannot signal to BF2042 that a keyboard and mouse is truly providing the soldier movements and aiming in the game, then it will not be possible. And as long as MSFT is not controlling to full extend that no modded M&K is connected (same for the modded controllers btw), it will not work for many disgruntled players who are all fed up with the cheaters.
Until then, community-run servers and separate gaming worlds between platforms is my personal preference.

ok, understood perfectly, thanks. I hope that MSFT will solve this problem and Apex will also be able to extend the gaming experience for those who wish to use their favorite hardware, without creating chaos in the community.

I think before the game gets mouse and keyboard support we NEED to get input based matchmaking. Controllers should NEVER be in the same matches as mouse and keyboard users, I think that's pretty much known by all FPS fans. Here we are with DICE with all their wisdom doing exactly what they shouldn't. I honestly believe crossplay should be disabled until this is implemented.
There are many reasons why I haven't touched this game since January, this is one of them and I won't be back until I see those changes. Which probably means never as they haven't commented on PC vs Console crossplay at all, they don't care.

keyboard and mouse its pretty bad to people who like to play sitting on a couch... people like me that already work 8 hours per day in front a computer just want to play with a controller on my couch at end of day...
i'm playing PS4 version with my PS5 but the game doesnt have the same quality as new gen version.
