Blizzard originally said M&K would be supported on consoles in an official statement and they quickly removed it. Now Rod Fergusson keeps beating around the bush about this question on twitter saying “Nothing beyond what the consoles already support natively.” But Xbox series S, X and ps5 all have options in their console settings for mouse sensitivity. This is literally native support.
Also here is a list of many games that also support M+K
Aliens: Fireteam Elite
The Ascent
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
Atomic Heart
Bright Memory
Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)

Call of Duty: Warzone
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0
Cyberpunk 2077
Deep Rock Galactic
Deliver Us the Moon
DiRT 5
Doom 64
The Forgotten City
Final Fantasy 14
Fortnite (plays like a PC with m&k plugged into consoles. 0 input lag)

Maid of Sker
Maneater
The Medium

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Can we please get a genuinely honest answer (yes or no) if mouse and keyboard will be supported on consoles? Launch is a couple months away and this is a make or break for many of wanting to buy it for console.

They said no, not at launch in the livestream today. They may add it in the future, but no guarantees.
The most recent developer video it was a flat out said NO… there was no beating around the bush.
It was a hard no from one dev. Then the community manager tried to do damage control and said theyll watch feedback after launch probably just to calm people. But from body languange and a firm no, i highly doubt they will ever make this happen. What is sad is that they never addressed the targeting issues with using controler and the set range of certain skills while on console. Its like they double downed on not helping console users lol.

Really wish people watched the live streams. or atleast googled stuff after live streams.
but no they are not doing it at launch. They may or may not do it afterwards. So if K&M… turn you off of consoles… either best to wait… or… get pc.
Also, Death Stranding supports MNK.
Yeah, I was disappointed to hear during the live stream they aren’t supporting MNK.
They vaguely said they are still hearing feedback on it— but if we are already seeking it, then what else do they need to hear? So I am taking it as it’s not going to happen, unfortunately.
I recall on the first closed/open beta that both Leap and Teleport lacked the same distance and control that MNK can only provide.
Ya the community manger isnt a developer…
The DEVELOPERS said NO. Its been said no more then once. People couldn’t get it through their heads when they said it more diplomaticly so the developers just bluntly, flatly said NO.
Community manger isnt one of the developers or producer or designer.
Yea which is why i called him the community manager? Not sure what youre trying to get at. Im simply letting people know its never gonna happen.
Kindly read what i wrote down. It was just amusing how the community manager tried to add some tact to the devs response. I never implied the community manager’s comment carried any weight.
Oh ok… i took it as you implying that there was still a chance because of what the community manger said.
So if that wasnt what you were implying then i apologize for the misunderstanding.
The chances are slim imho… Diablo 3 never allowed it on console, D2R didn’t allow it either.
What they should have added is a cursor that you can move around the UI with your joystick tho… like in d2r… I need to be able to pick and item and place it exactly where I want it in my inventory or stash. It’s impossible to manage all the loot we’ll eventually have, without that.
Boomer, it’s cross plataform. It’s native. Please give us the option to have keyboard and mouse on a console.
