Save Game downloads on External Hard Drive

ASMAN olps · Feb 9, 2017

I am trying to find out if it is possible to save a game download on an external hard drive. I have 500 GB drive on my Xbox One and an external 500 GB. I want to be able to save games on the external so I do not have to delete games off my hard drive so
often.

External Hard Drive on the Xbox One

Is there a way to save my save data on my internal hard drive and then save my game data on the external? I want to make sure my game saves are protected if my external hard drive crashes.

Yeah you can. This explains how to manage your storage - Storage on Xbox One | Check Storage Space on Xbox One

Hello

So some games on my xbox were non transfering from my internal hard drive to my extern hard drive. I tried a hard reset and plugged the external hard drive to a new USB port. These options didn't work. I then went to the external hard drive section in storage
and clicked format hard drive. Understandably everything on there was uninstalled. My question is will my saved game data be there when I have reinstalled the games? For example story progression or unlocked characters?

Hello welcome to to forums!

Just to clarify!

Your game save data are save on your local hard drive and on the cloud if you login on Xbox Live (online)

So don't worry you can delete the games on your external hard drive and the save data are safe on you local hdd or cloud. When you install the game again you will download automatically the save sada from the cloud or get the one of your hard drive!

Are the games saved on an external hard drive?

All your save data is in the cloud but unless you use an external hard drive you will need to download your games again.

Hi there PoiZoN DiNoZaUR

Is the saves on the external hard drive or is the videos on the external hard drive?.

Hey there Gib,

Sorry to hear you're having issues with downloading the HD texture pack for Battlefield 3.

For the HD content on that game, you need to save it to a Hard Drive. The internal 4 GB memory is not a hard drive, it is flash memory so the texture pack will not be able to save there. You'll need to save it to your external drive.
