    Xbox expandable storage


    I have 2 8TB external drives already connected to my X1X and have filled over 12TB of total storage. Will xbox be increasing the maximum storage soon? I do not like having to swap external HDDs to find out which one which games are on and I like having
    all my games installed at once.

    :)

    Hello Captain,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. You can submit this at
    Xbox ideas    . As this is a great idea with some people having a huge library to be able to fit all on their external hard drives.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    I can't even comprehend using that much space. I have a 1TB S and haven't needed to get more storage in my two years of having it!

    I can imagine the inconvenience. Maybe you should label your drives somehow to make swapping easier?

    you can get faster nvme gen 4 drives a lot cheaper than the Xbox expanded storage so the cost for ps5 is not really the same now, the expanded storage for Xbox is now the more expensive option.

    Expanding the storage on the new Xbox

    After looking at this, it seems that back- compat games that have been optimised for Series consoles, work fine on external drives.

    Games I have tried are:

    Overwatch

    Minecraft Dungeons

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps

    But any game that is Gen9 only (Scarlet) shows a warning when moving to an external drive:

    “One or more of your selections needs faster storage. You can move it, but it won’t be playable.”

    The game I tried was Control Ultimate Edition. So it seems future Series only games will need to be on the internal drive to play, but can be archived on an external drive. So still worth getting one I think.
