    Installing Games Before Playing


    Is there any info on either Microsoft allowing us to use external hard drives to store our games because my hard drive is almost full since they make us install the games now before we can play them or getting rid of this way of doing it and just letting
    us put the disc in and play right then instead of having to wait and wait for the install to finish? For some reason when I trry to install games it literally takes anywhere from 4-10 hours to just install the game before I can even play it.

    :)

    Updating before installing games?

    Hi

    It is very common for games even single player ones to require updates to fix issues or add new features If you are are able to I would say it is best to take the update.

    You may wish to try putting your console offline mode hopefully this will stop it trying to take the updates.

    Updating before installing games?

    Hello,

    I recently purchased Dishonored 2 for the Xbox One. Upon trying to install said game, the Xbox told me to go online and update it before playing. Now, I think Dishonored 2 is an offline, single player game, and thought this might be an error with the console
    or there might be a way around it. I ask because I do not want to go over my data allowance and so would prefer not to update.

    Thank you.

    External HDD support will arrive in a future update.

    "We value all of the feedback we're getting from you. Keep it coming! We are listening," wrote Whitten on Xbox Wire. "We know external hard drive storage is another big one on your list. It's on our list too. We're working on that for a future update
    and will keep you posted."

    Im trying to play a disc but its saying it has to install or show READY TO START before i can launch it.

    Hi there

    You need to install the game before you play it so please let it install into the hard drive before you play to get the best experience :)

    Has it fully installed now? I always leave the game to fully 100% install before playing them as heard before that it can cause trouble downloading if you play before 100% complete.
