Microsoft will make this feature available to developers, however, it is entirely up to the game developers to decide whether to include mouse and keyboard support for their games. Additionally, Microsoft did state that there’s no changes to existing titles at the moment. Mouse and keyboard input is still not enabled by default for games.
