Microsoft’s Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb told fans that the new feature would be added to Fortnite later this week.

“Fourteen titles have announced they plan to have Xbox keyboard+mouse support including @FortniteGame, landing later this week,” he said.

Expect it to be implemented as part of update 6.30.

Elsewhere, Epic Games has told fans to expect fixes for audio and emote issues.

According to the Fortnite Trello board, the First Downer Pickaxe is experiencing looping audio on Xbox One.

Other players have experienced a problem with characters not emoting in the lobby.

Both of these issues will be fixed in the next Fortnite update later this week.

New skins will also be revealed once the update goes live, so check back for more information.
