Currently, I can stream Google Stadia games and use mouse and keyboard on the Xbox, but I’ve also been able to successfully stream PC games from Steam to an Xbox through the browser.
Where things really get interesting is when you consider what this will mean for the future of streaming games to an Xbox through a browser. Krunker on an Xbox with mouse and keyboard. Basic mouse navigation, scrolling, and right-click all work here just fine. I’ve been able to write documents using Word online, type messages into Discord chats, and even play some Krunker or Quake JS through the browser with a mouse and keyboard. I’ve been testing this new support over the weekend, and I’ve even managed to play some Steam PC games on my Xbox.ĭespite a few obvious bugs here and there - as this is very much an early beta browser - it works as expected. Xbox testers in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring are now able to access this new version of Edge and try out a mouse in the console version of the browser for the first time.
Microsoft’s new Chromium-based Edge browser is coming to Xbox soon, and the company has now added all-important mouse and keyboard support that will pave the way to stream PC games to Xbox consoles.
