Adding external hard drive to X Box One X

Depending on how you want to use it, the external HDD is formatted differently for Games and Apps or capturing clips and screenshots.

If you goto System>Settings>System>Storage you will see both choices you have and what is required.

Hi Michelexx,

Thanks for your post. I understand you are attempting to connect your external hard drive with your Xbox One X. For detailed information on how to do so, check out this article:

Setup External Storage - Xbox One.

I hope this helps!

just plug in and a prompt should come up to format it, select for games and its set up

A novice myself ( having a 12 yeaer old grandson really helps). We had an external hard drive on the old x box one x. Just connected it to the series x and loaded the game from disc, but selected the option to put it on the external drive. This allowed it to load fully with the updates. Then just went to the menu and selected the option to move the game to the the internal drive.

Once done it worked fine.

Your external hard drive will work perfectly with Xbox One X.
