Controllers lite console port wow7/11/2023 ![]() It's known to us that Microsoft is also exploring Xbox Game Pass cloud streaming for PC games as well, and WoW would be an obvious fit for this, even if they didn't bring the game to Xbox consoles natively. ![]() Under Microsoft, Blizzard's full potential could be unleashed, and Microsoft certainly has the tools, servers, and platform know-how to potentially port WoW to Xbox at the very least. Activision has undoubtedly squandered a ton of potential WoW and other Blizzard properties have, with corner-cutting efforts and short-term thinking. When Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer spoke to press following the announcement of their intent to buy Activision Blizzard, Spencer specifically name-checked World of Warcraft, noting a desire to bring Blizzard games to more players than ever.

The aptly named ConsolePort add-on for WoW gives you an FFXIV-like interface, assigning different buttons to different abilities, while giving you joystick control over your character. That being said, there are mods for the PC version of WoW that enable gamepad gameplay. Targeting with a cursor is often an important aspect of play too, especially for tanks and healers, who may need precision mouse clicks to find their mark in a swarm of enemies and allies. Being able to turn rapidly is baked into the game's combat design, from PvP to the game's more intense encounters. WoW is designed very much for WASD keyboard strafing and right-click mouse turning. Given the fact Xbox and PlayStation are closed platforms without native support for these kinds of tools, that alone presents a massive hurdle for the game as it exists today.Īnother aspect to consider is how the game plays in general. ![]() Installing add-ons has become the norm in WoW, with practically every single player running some third-party system or service to optimize the game and its data feedback loop. It's certainly true that WoW has relied heavily on add-ons for its user interface and combat systems over the years, seeking community involvement to improve how the game functions.
