Xbox announces a groundbreaking function for its controllers, providing unprecedented compatibility with PC games. This innovative approach revolutionizes the gaming experience and opens up new dimensions for players.

Xbox recently announced an innovative function for its controllers, making the world of PC games more accessible for players. This revolutionary feature holds the potential to immerse gamers into a realm of PC games that were previously incompatible with Xbox controllers.

Members of the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead tiers in the Xbox Insider program can now explore this groundbreaking capability by mapping keyboard keys to their Xbox controllers. While currently available only for certain controllers and still under development, this feature already broadens the gaming universe significantly.

The Xbox Insider program opens up the testing process to all registered players, giving everyone the opportunity to participate in testing new features of the Xbox operating system. This opens the door to millions of gamers to access updates months before their public release.

In the latest Xbox announcement, players participating at the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead levels of the Xbox Insider program who own an Xbox Elite Series 2 wireless controller or an Xbox Adaptive Controller, can now map keyboard keys to their controller. This allows them to play PC games that were not natively compatible with Xbox controllers. This new feature drastically widens the spectrum of playable games and includes players who prefer a traditional gaming controller into the world of PC games.

Just a few days after the introduction of this new feature and the announcement of the fresh palette of controller styles, Xbox has given the eligible Insider members the possibility to map keyboard keys to their controllers. Players can set up the new function with ease within the Xbox Accessories app by selecting the ‘Configure’ option, followed by ‘Create a new profile or edit an existing one’. They then have to decide whether it’s a ‘Primary’ button or a ‘Shift’ key, before finally choosing the Key Tab.

Xbox is taking a significant step towards the future with this new function, which is currently unavailable to the wider gaming audience. However, its inclusion in the Xbox Insider program indicates that the development might soon come to fruition, making this impressive innovation accessible to a wider range of players.
