Support is activated on a per game basis by the developer. Here's what they said a few weeks ago...

Fortnite’s support for keyboard and mouse launches alongside previously announced Warframe via today’s update, with Bomber Crew, Deep Rock Galactic, Strange Brigade, Vermintide 2, War Thunder and X-Morph Defense adding support in November, and Children of Morta, DayZ, Minion Master, Moonlighter, Vigor, Warface, and Wargroove adding support in the future.

it better does, because the price is very steep, but it always depends on the game.

You can use any keyboard and mouse you want. You don't need the razer one.

in regards to supported games, the article mentions a few.

Many game developers have praised Xbox One mouse and keyboard support. Epic Games detailed how Fortnite is one of the first titles to offer mouse and keyboard input alongside previously announced Warframe. However, Bomber Crew, Deep Rock Galactic, Strange Brigade, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, War Thunder, and X-Morph Defense will also add support in November. Developers working on Children of Morta, DayZ, Minion Master, Moonlighter, Vigor, Warface, and Wargroove promised mouse and keyboard support in the future.

No Black Desert Online? For shame.

Wonder if they've reached out to the various MMO devs, though it's probably not attractive to mandate Gold subs with F2P (those applicable). ahem.

Cross play between pc/xbox players? that would be awesome, more populated servers in future titles.

Sea of Thieves has had PC/Xbox crossplay since launch. There's also no way of segregating them. And most of the time you can't tell who's who either.

No idea what see of thieves is, but dont KB/M players have a massive advantage? For fps games there should be seperate servers imo. How about a game that runs 30 or 60 fps on xbox but double that on pc? Yes i know on pc theres those differences too, but with console your having the controller aspect + framerates, and eventually wider FOV.

There's maybe only an advantage with the sniper rifle, but otherwise the guns have the range of a shotput, and the cannons rely more on lag & anticipating shot trajectory anyway (IME).

But I'm going to comment on it anyway.

It's a first-person action game where you play as pirates in a team. There's PvP and PvE in the same game - you steal treasure, then other pirates attack your ship and steal it off you. It's not a high-speed twitch shooter. I wonder if it was designed particularly to not be disadvantageous in PC + console cross play?

Yeah i mean i know the game but not if its anything fast paced or not

They are fixing it now, the advantage of PC will be lessened after the next major patch.
