Hi,

External hard drives are not fast enough for Xbox Series X|S titles. Unfortunately you can't play these games off slow USB external hard drives. They need either be installed internally or to an optional Xbox Series X|S Expansion card.

Tell me straight if its to get me to drop 200 on a seagate expansion card because if it is im not going to

No, it isn't. I've got a 2TB SATA SSD drive connected to my Series X via USB and I get the same download speed downloading directly to this drive as I do either installing to the Internal drive or the Seagate expansion card.

Speeds of 30 to 50Mb/s is a tiny fraction of what these drives are capable of.

Xbox Series X|S games can not be run from USB storage devices. These drives are too slow for Series X|S games, regardless of them being on Game Pass or not.

Series X|S games can only be played on either the Internal SSD, a Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S or the WD_BLACK C50 Expansion Card for Xbox

Hi there Average B, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Please note that not every external hard drive will work for playing optimized Xbox Series games on your console. To play them, you need to install them on the internal storage of the console or use the Seagate Storage Expansion Card, which can be found at the following link:

It's crucial to use specifically that storage expansion card because if you use a different one, even if it's Seagate, it won't let you play optimized games.

You can also consider the WD_BLACK C50 Expansion Card for Xbox, which you can see at this link:

Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Only these two storage expansion units have the speed and capacity to run optimized games as they have speeds similar to the console's internal memory.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.
