Official Mouse and Keyboard support coming to the Xbox One, with Razer going into partnership with Xbox in creating console specific peripherals. This also opens up the door for more PC specific games to be ported to the Xbox One.

The other thing Phil Spencer announced yesterday was the return of the X0 event.
Microsoft’s X0 event, which started out as a trade show, will resume this year after a long hiatus.
Microsoft has announced that X018, this year’s version of this press/fan event, will be held in Mexico City, Mexico November 10-11. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, announced the event’s surprising return on yesterday’s packed Inside Xbox episode.
X018 will be at the heart of this year’s FanFest. Spencer confirmed that fans should expect first and third-party announcements at the show, but sadly didn’t drop any hits. It’s also there that we’ll be having our first look at the mouse and keyboard accessory co-developed by Razer, not to mention learn more about the first games to support mouse and keyboard on Xbox One.
The event will be livestreamed on Mixer November 10-11, with a special, two-hour episode of Inside Xbox kicking off at 1pm PT, 4pm ET, 9pm BST on Saturday, November 10.

grabbed stuntman ignition last night on the 360, to download it to your 360 you will need the vpn to be active but if you download it to your xbox one all you have to do is change your console region to uk and it will download, no active vpn needed.
you still need a vpn and a uk region 360 account just to redeem it though.

KB, mouse support is very exciting. My dream is for the XB1 to also have the MS Office suite available.
Then its a nice simple all in one kickass gaming PC.
Ahead of the company’s X018 show on Saturday, (mentioned earlier in this thread) Microsoft has made Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) free to download and keep on Xbox One today. The software giant notes that the full 1.0 release of PUBG for Xbox is “free for a limited time,” and you can download the game free immediately from the Microsoft Store.
Microsoft also appears to be making Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 free for a limited time, a move that is likely linked to its XO18 show this weekend. You can download Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 free from the Microsoft Store right now, though.

Does anyone know of a way to see my XBox games library outside of the console itself? The XBox app on my PC only shows me the games installed on the PC - State of Decay and Horizon. But how can I quickly check if I have a game on XBox before I go and buy a duplicate copy of it on Steam?
I did a search for pubg on the xbox app on my phone and triggered it to install on my xbox.
I assume this adds it to the library as I never purchased it previously

Also, not sure what to make of this winking emoji Tweet response by Humble Bundle to one of the XBox announcements:
Could one of the “big surprises” be XBox bundles on Humble I wonder? They’ve been doing occasional ones for PS so it’s not completely impossible.
