    Games won’t show updates on storage! Solved


    After the past two system updates, my Series S will not show the needed game updates for games in Expansion&HDD storage from my SX. Hard reset won’t fix and manage game option won’t show the updates either, they have to be manually launched for my SS to identify a needed game update for download. This is a problem for disc games files on a SS with no optical drive to manually launch.——FIXED= so you manually launch the disc game file which forces the console to recognize the update. Without a proper entitlement you can’t play the game but it still manages to shock the system into finally seeing the available update. There’s still a software bug that’s not showing the game updates in storage like it ALWAYS has but at least you can force the console to recognize them. Locally stored & played games on SS internal drive show updates properly but it’s the external storage from expansion+hdd from my other console that isn’t showing updates when connected to the SS

    (solved) Games and Apps not updating with external storage attached

    I thought the X had been designed to "only" work with the designated Seagate 1TB drive (the one that costs £250 or whatever it is)
    No, not quite. Series X|S games can only run from internal or expansion card, but Xbox One games can still play directly from USB 3.0 mechanical drives or SATA SSD's with USB adaptors.

    You can Store Series X games on external USB drives, but you can't run them there.

    Doesn't help with your issue but I'm surprised that an external storage even works with the Series X as I thought the X had been designed to "only" work with the designated Seagate 1TB drive (the one that costs £250 or whatever it is)

    Figured it out. Warframe was currupted. It was only 29gb for some reason. Uninstalled it and game updates work again.

    I'll try that, I have another 4tb external to move them to then unplug it as they won't all fit on internal.

    I hope it works but I'm not counting on it. I've had optimized for x/s stored on it the whole time and it found all the updates before.

    Hello there,

    I also suspect the same thing that the games that are optimized for series x should be on internal. Try separating only the series x games from the other games. Otherwise, if you're an xbox insider, update your console first and power cycle it a few times meaning unplug completely for 10 minutes and then turn it back on. If all else fails, contact xbox support. Hope it helps!
