Will Battlefield 2042 be playable with a mouse and keyboard on Box series S

@FireExhausterNot missing the point at all and the fact you don't understand the views of controller users is part of the problem.

@Popa2capsnot on console.....

If i have xbox i should play On controlling and when o want to play On K&M i should to go On PC?

I play On My PC On controller in Rocket League.. I should not do that? 

Why pro player play On PC with controller? And who ale you to tell me On what i have to play??

@Lord_WlnWAgreed. No offense to console players or controller users but I can't help but feel like they are being out of touch elitists at this point cocooned inside their shell fearing expansion and experimentation. If they wanna play with a controller, play with a controller. No one cares and no one is against that. But don't try and ruin other people's chances of trying to have a fun experience with the hardware they are more comfortable with. We are just going to play vs PC players who use the same hardware so what's the issue for controller users? There is literally an option to opt out if you don't want to go against K&M users.

I'm sorry if it sounded rude or harsh but that's my thoughts on the matter. I still have a lot of positives left in the tank regarding advantages of adding K&M support and I really hope the developers consider adding it. It's an FPS game and I know a considerable amount of people who are waiting for this confirmation before they buy the game. 

Let's keep things civil in here folks. It's fine to agree/disagree with each other as long as it's kept polite and civil.

@EA_RtasSorry about it. I'll keep it down.

@Trokey66Everything said prior to announcement of crossplay with PC would be irrelevant because IT IS UNFAIR to allow M&K in a console lobby. Your arguments after that were that no other battlefield games had K&M support but they didn't have crossplay either so it's invalid too. If this game didn't have crossplay then fine, I wouldn't ask for K&M. But it does and I don't see the point of putting all the work and effort to allow console players go against PC players when eventually every console player will opt out unless a K&M functionality is introduced and putting such users to go against PC players. If I've missed any other point then just point it out and I'll clarify it too.

Also there is no such thing as console player = controller and PC = M&K. Believe it or not it's a very outdated thing to believe in. Like someone mentioned, PC allows use of controller so why not the other way around. All we are asking for is an accessibility feature. Not a gameplay balance change. Something that literally doesn't affect controller users like, at all. If anything it brings more people to the game. 

Why are people crying about this, you plug in kb/m that’s your choice and you get put in kb/m lobbies it’s that simple!

Guys he is just telling those things to make people angry. If he really thinks like that let him live in his bubble. "May the Earth be light with you".

The fact is that we have a cross-platform confirmation and that does not answer the original question.: Will Battlefield 2042 be playable with K&M on Xbox?

So far the answer is: most likely.

Supposedly your main concern is that the KBM users have an advantage over your play style. You think you're safe from KBM users on console even if it's not allowed in the game?  I'm guessing you've heard of the 3rd party hardware that circumvents the system such as Zen Cronus and Titan 2?  Not only allowing you to use a KBM on the console but also gives them the aim assist designed for controllers and the ability to load custom scripts to further the gap. 

Now before you say that not many use these addons, you'd be mistaken:

That's just for the Cronus Zen, not including their other products or Titan 2. There's been demonstrations of the scripts allowing wall hacks and aimbotting. Luckily the developer of this script and Activision came to an agreement.  But that doesn't mean others won't follow. But feel free to continue taking a stance against KBM because you fear the game will change.  Sad to say you lost that battle years ago when controllers were connected via USB if not before.

If anything the KBM users coming from PCs are looking to get away from the cheats as well. To say the advancement of input device is the end of console play we'd still be using Pong paddles or the old Atari joysticks with a single button.  Even jumping forward ten years to the Nintendo with the rectangular block and two buttons

The bottom line is things change and usually for the better.  The consoles have always been catching up to the PC and as previously stated they are basically PC with a closed environment at this point.  Anyone would tell you there is very little difference between the two categories these days in terms of hardware.  AMD is even selling below grade XBox Series X APU's for users to make tiny gaming pc's.

Correct..

Point being they are already readily prevalent on consoles.  The concern of the consoles being invaded by KBM users should be worried more so about the emulators.
