Microsoft has good news and bad news for fans of Xbox One shooters like PUBG.
With mouse and keyboard support yet to be officially implemented on Xbox One, some users are using unofficial adaptors to gain an advantage in shooting games like PUBG.
One fan asked Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra if the company had any plans to block mouse and keyboard adaptors on Xbox One.
And by the sounds of it, Microsoft isn’t planning on blocking the adaptors from working.
“Developers have the choice to use APIs that detect and not allow these,” Ybarra said. “It’s up to them, but the capability is there.”
vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.
The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
Ybarra’s reasoning is that mouse and keyboard support can have accessibility benefits.
“We could but there are helpful scenarios with these devices (accessibility for one),” he continued. “Our general approach is to empower the developer to manage their game how they want.”
It’s good news for any Xbox One owner currently using the technology, but bad news for users who have been on the receiving end of a thrashing in games like Battlegrounds.
The news comes as the Xbox Games with Gold releases are announced for March 2018.
The month kicks off in style, as Trials of the Blood Dragon joins the Xbox One games list from March 1 until March 30.
This will be followed by stylish indie hit Superhot, which joins the service from March 16 until April 15.
The games list isn’t quite as strong on Xbox 360, which kicks off with Brave: The Video Game on March 1.
The Pixar tie-in will be replaced by Quantum Conundrum on March 16 until the end of the month.
