Victory doesn’t come easy when you’re playing about PC players on console. The Warzone Battle Royale mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has crossplay activated by default, so if you’re on Xbox One or PS4, you’ll be fighting opponents wielding the aiming power of the mouse and keyboard. If you’re looking for an edge of your own, you can always hook up a M+KB of your own on console. Modern Warfare fully supports this controller swap, and I’ll explain how it works below.
The new Battle Royale mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare drops you into the detailed Verdansk map with 150 players split into 3-operator teams. Your goal? Be the top squad of operators to survive by collecting powerful gear and crushing the competition. Trying to survive in this frantic, fast-paced shooter isn’t going to be easy, so you’ll need every advantage you can get. Playing with a mouse and keyboard on consoles is one way to do it.

You’ll find keyboard and mouse functionality on both PS4 and Xbox One. Both are compatible, and if you have trouble using KB+M in-game, access the Modern Warfare settings with your controller, and navigate to Controller Output — select Keyboard & Mouse instead of controller.
KB+M is only supported in certain apps and games on both consoles. Modern Warfare on all devices supports KB+M.
