State Of Decay 2, More Xbox Cloud Games Getting Mouse And Keyboard Support

Xbox Insiders can now try to survive the zombie apocalypse with a mouse and keyboard for State of Decay 2 on Xbox Cloud Gaming. The open-world survival title is one of 14 games getting the additional input support on the service.

Spotted by Windows Central, other notable games also receiving mouse and keyboard support on Xbox Cloud include Quake 2, Terraria, and Slime Rancher 2. Keep in mind that so far this added functionality is only “for users enrolled in the PC Gaming Preview,” per the Xbox Support page.

Now Playing: State of Decay 2 Video Review

It was almost two years ago when Microsoft officially announced mouse and keyboard support was on the way for Xbox Cloud Gaming. This is the second wave of titles, as last month introduced the feature to games like Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite, and Fortnite. Eventually, the idea is that mouse and keyboard can be used while playing these titles on the cloud on devices like your smartphone or TV, if desired.

Xbox Cloud Gaming is a bonus that’s part of an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. New Xbox Cloud games come to the service regularly. For example, a majority of the seven games coming to Game Pass this month will be available on the cloud, such as Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

Below is a full list of the new games getting mouse and keyboard support on Xbox Cloud Gaming:

  • Cities: Skylines – Mayor’s Edition
  • Cities: Skylines – Remastered
  • House Flipper
  • Inkulinati (Game Preview)
  • Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
  • Norco
  • Pikuniku
  • Quake
  • Quake 2
  • Slime Rancher 2
  • State of Decay 2
  • Terraria
  • The Sims 4
  • Valheim (Game Preview)
