Currently, to use Xbox Cloud Gaming, you need to use an Xbox or a verified controller. This can be a problem for PC gamers who are used to a mouse and keyboard, but that won’t be a problem anymore asIGN writes.

The feature is available only to users enrolled in PC Gaming Preview, and to use it you need to enable Preview features in the browser. This can be done on theXbox Play pageby going to your user settings.

Currently, there are only 14 games that support this feature and some of them include Fortnite (only in the browser), ARK Survival Evolved, Grounded, Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite, Atomic Heart, High on Life, Sniper Elite 5, and more.
