Can we get a "Group by Storage" Option on Xbox One / Series X & S Please.

Hi,

Yes you can use it. You can use any external storage that the Xbox One supported on the Series X and S. However, external storage can only be used to play Xbox One games and BC Xbox 360 and original Xbox games.

Series X and S titles need to be run either from the internal SSD or the optional expansion card.

Hello, SerratedGem5935. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to assist with your inquiry today.

There are two types of storage drives available for Xbox Series X|S consoles.

The first one is the expansion card, Seagate and WD. This card has a dedicated slot on the console and allows you to store and play Xbox Series X|S titles, and also Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles.

The second option is getting an external USB drive.
However, with this option, you can store and play Xbox One, 360 and original Xbox titles, but for Xbox Series X|S games you can only store them and not play.

Regards,

Arturo.

Hi,

Both Series X/S games and Xbox One games that been optimised (I'm British) for Series X/S must be installed on either the internal storage or the expansion card. They can not be run from a USB connected storage device. My optimised Series X/S Xbox One games
were moved to my Expansion card during their update.

Hi Batm4n.

Your current drive will be usable on the Series S/X. For next gen. games and for games with Smart delivery, you will not be able to get the performance needed, but for x360 games it will run just fine.

Hi,

Series X|S optimised games can only run on either the internal storage or expansion card. You can 'store' Series X|S on a USB hard drive/SSD for later but you can't play them from these drives as they're not fast enough.

Xbox One games that are not optimised for Series X|S can be run from USB Storage.
