Later in May, users will also be able to use the Xbox app on PC by selecting a game with a mouse and keyboard badge. From there, they can use their mouse and keyboard to control the game, just like on any PC game. It is even possible to switch between using a mouse and keyboard combination and a controller at any time by simply pressing a key on the keyboard or the Xbox button on the controller.
The Xbox app on PC also received an update. To start with, there's a new channel dedicated to the upcoming game Senua's Saga: Hellblade II by Ninja Theory. Moreover, Microsoft began rolling out some new Compact Mode features, including Jump back in and Friends, with a subset of players and with all Xbox Insiders.
