News New Xbox Update Includes Discord Improvements & Mouse Mapping For Some Controllers

[admin]

​

The latest Xbox update includes two notable new features:

1. Discord integration improvements: Users can now join direct message voice channels directly from the Xbox console. This allows for easier voice chat with friends on Discord without needing to switch between devices.

2. Mouse and keyboard support for some controllers: The Xbox Accessories app now allows users with an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 or Xbox Adaptive Controller to map the thumbsticks to function as mouse input. This enables using mouse and keyboard controls in games that support them, even on the Xbox console.

Here's what the explanation says about this on the official Xbox website:

"Your direct message voice channels can now be joined right from your Xbox! Just open the guide, head to Parties & chats, select Discord, then choose Direct Voice Chats to find the list of direct message channels you are able to join."

​

These features are currently only available to Xbox Insider program members in the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead rings, but they will eventually roll out to all Xbox users. The Discord improvements provide a more seamless way to voice chat with friends on the platform, while the mouse and keyboard support opens up new control options for certain games on Xbox.

"You can now use your controller to move the mouse pointer and input mouse clicks in games and apps that support mouse input. To get started, check the Xbox Accessories app, select Configure, then create a new profile or edit an existing one. Set your thumbstick to control the mouse, then you can set your desired buttons to left, right, and middle click."
