    Can the Seagate expansion card be used to transfer / copy games between Xboxes?


    Hi everyone,

    Apologies for asking a (potentially) daft question, but here goes:

    I own an Xbox Series S console, onto which I have downloaded a few games (some of which are quite large!).

    I will also be taking delivery of an Xbox Series X in a couple of days.

    What I want to know is, if I were to invest in one of those Seagate expansion cards, could I use that to copy or transfer games I have downloaded on the Series S to the Series X (like you used to be able to do with external storage on Xbox One consoles) or would I have to download the games again on the Series X?

    I am the legal owner of both Xboxes, and my Xbox profile will be on both machines.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Yes, you can use the expansion card or even an external hard drive to transfer the games to your new Xbox Series X.

    Can the Seagate expansion card be used to transfer / copy games between Xboxes?

    Well here is the thing

    Yes you can but it wouldn't be smart

    With the series x and s smart delivery versions aren't the same

    With the series s because you don't need RT and 4k you lose those because of the limited space

    So fps boost would be less

    So one optimised for s would lack the components for 4k on the series x

    You would still be able to download the extra packs but you are going to need to connect to the internet to download the update on series x

    Should be noted that you can only play on your profile on one console at a time

    The second console has to be signed into their own profile and assigned as your home console and you play on the other console but signed online at all times to be played on both consoles as home console can only be one console

    transfering stuff from your xbox segate card to another segate card

    Hello, Infamousiozzo. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    You can transfer just fine, but since you can't connect two Seagate Expansion Cards on the same console, you'll need to transfer your data to a external SSD or Xbox internal storage, then transfer it again to the other Seagate Expansion Card.

    Choose Settings > System > Storage. Choose the expansion card with all your games on and then pick Transfer. You pick and choose what you actually want to transfer, or pick Select All. Select where you want to transfer it (SSD or Internal Storage). Wait for the transfer.

    After all, plug your 2TB Seagate Expansion Card and repeat the process.

    If you have any other question, please let me know.

    Xbox Series X questions

    You have two options with the Series X, either the official expansion card which adds 1TB extra storage, and you can run your Series X Enhanced games directly from it (link below):

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-x-s/940j83pk147r?SilentAuth=1&wa=wsignin1.0

    Or you can run a USB External hard drive, but you will need to copy your Series X Enhanced games from that to your internal SSD before being able to play. This is the cheaper solution if your happy to copy the games back and forth as you wish, other wise
    it's the official Seagate expansion card.

    Hope that helps
