{"title":"Console Keyboard \u0026 Mouse","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsole Keyboard \u0026amp; Mouse marks the Xbox games that support a keyboard and mouse when you play them on the console itself, on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, not only on a Windows PC. Xbox consoles recognize a keyboard and mouse, but that alone does not mean every game will respond to them. Support is decided game by game: each developer chooses whether to build keyboard and mouse controls into their Xbox release and how that support works in play. This collection brings together the games that carry the capability, so you can see at a glance which titles will take the setup you prefer. For many players that preference comes down to precision. A mouse puts the cursor exactly where you want it, which matters in games built around fine placement, dense menus and interfaces that feel most natural with a pointer. Strategy, simulation and building games in particular benefit, and a keyboard puts shortcuts a single keystroke away instead of behind a sequence of button presses. The Sims 4 on Xbox shows the difference well. Build Mode rewards careful positioning of walls, windows, doors and furniture, and browsing the Buy Mode catalog or fine-tuning a household in Create a Sim with a cursor feels much closer to the way the game plays on PC, where it first launched. Keyboard and mouse support is also about comfort and choice. Some players simply think faster with a mouse in hand, some have spent years building habits on PC, and some find a keyboard and mouse easier on their hands than a controller over a long session. Whatever the reason, the badge tells you the option is there before you buy, rather than leaving you to find out after the download. Browse the games below to find the Xbox titles that let you play the way that feels right to you.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-sims-4-xbox-one","title":"The Sims 4","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eThe Sims 4 is Maxis' latest take on the life simulation it invented. You create Sims with real personalities, build and furnish their homes, and guide them through careers, friendships, romances and the occasional cooking disaster. The base game is free to download on Xbox and includes the full set of tools for telling stories that are entirely your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCreate a Sim, Down to the Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate a Sim lets you sculpt faces and bodies directly, pushing and pulling features into shape instead of wrestling with sliders. You then pick hairstyles, outfits for every occasion and even the way a Sim walks. The real depth is underneath. Traits and aspirations decide what each Sim values, what they are good at and what they are working toward, so a Cheerful Bookworm and a Hot-Headed Goofball end up living very different lives under the same roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEmotions That Drive Every Choice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmotions are at the heart of The Sims 4. Depending on what has just happened to them, Sims can feel inspired, confident, flirty, focused, playful or tense, and each mood opens up new interactions and changes how well they work, create and socialize. An inspired Sim writes and paints better, a confident one does well at work, and a tense one needs some care before the day falls apart. Sims can also multitask, chatting over dinner or talking while they relax, so a household feels lively and believable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild Mode and the Perfect Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom-based building lets you place whole rooms, stretch them to size and drag them across the lot with their furniture still inside, which makes redesigning a house fast and forgiving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA broad catalog of furniture, fixtures and décor, with color swatches for most items, helps you match every room to the family that lives in it, from a cramped starter home to a sprawling family house.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gallery connects you with a community of players.
