If gaming controllers are not your thing, Xbox One is now allowing support for the more traditional setup of keyboard and mouse. Microsoft VP of gaming, Phil Spencer, officially announced through a livestream that the support for PC gaming standard controls is soon arriving on the popular gaming console, Cnet reported.
However, what the gaming enthusiasts need to know is that the support won't be universal and only those games will support the PC controls whose developers allow for it. While any standard USB-connected mouse or keyboard will work, Microsoft is partnering with Razer to build a mouse-keyboard combo that will be specific for the Xbox. The support is expected to arrive with the Xbox Preview in October.
Ahead of a September 28 release across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC, a ten-team, two-mode preview of soccer simulation "FIFA 19" began on September 13. Fictional rags-to-riches youth star Alex Hunter returns for story mode trilogy closer "The Journey: Champions," and there is a look at an official, newly licensed Champions League tournament in the PS4, XBO and PC demo package for "FIFA 19."
Formerly part of rival annual soccer sim "PES" (or "Pro Evolution Soccer"), the top-tier UEFA Champions League, second-tier Europa League, and the Champions and Europa winners' face-off, the Super Cup, are part of a FIFA game for the first time, at least in terms of brand-sanctioned labelling.
Additional retail releases of the full game are planned for Nintendo Switch, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while "FIFA Mobile" is on its own update schedule. Electronic Arts also completed the reveal of its top 100 in-game players on September 12, judging cover star Cristiano Ronaldo its number 1 with an overall FIFA Soccer rating of 94. Tied on 94 yet in second place was Lionel Messi, with Neymar Jr third (92), the 2018 FIFA World Cup Golden Ball winner Luka Modrić in fourth (91), and Belgian Kevin de Bruyne in fifth (91).
