I'll try again, xbox one s memory 1/2 full with just 2 games loaded

Thanks everyone for their help & answers. I still have the ' free ' game digital card that came with xbox one s it says up to 80 gb , question , will from this point the storage room left ' 252 gb ' be able to be used for games ? 252 - 80 = 172 or even close
to that ?

Also since this is just digital game will the down load go any faster ?

Yeah you can fill up the rest of that 252gigs with all games or whatever content you want!

Thanks smokey , guess I will still need a hard drive soon , I'm thinking 2 T ?

Who said memory?

You may want to read the title of this thread. lol

Yes & thank you for being so helpful .

Yeah,the operating system takes up just over 100gb so you only have about 360gb of actual storage space on your hard drive & after what you posted it's about the right amount left.

Thanks Daft , I guess it's hard drive time , do you know anything about why it takes so long to load a game even from a disk ?

Maybe it's just me... because I am kwazy after all...
but what does lack of storage space have to do with memory?

People sadly often use the two terms interchangeably.
Who said memory ?

Well to begin with a 500gb hard drive will only have around 466gb of usable space.

Then from what I've read the Xbox One OS and other console functions will take up around 100gb of space for itself, taking the space now available to you down to around 366gb.

Now take away 70gb for your games and you are down to under 300gb. Then add in patches, DLC, apps you may have installed etc and the space usage sounds about right to me.
