- Microsoft confirms how the Xbox Series X expandable storage will work.
- The console works with expansion cards of up to 1TB and these cards slot into the back.
- However, players could run into a big issue with the storage cards if the Xbox Series X becomes incredibly popular.
In a surprise drop of information today, Microsoft has revealed more Xbox Series X specs and features . The Xbox Series X offers incredible power and it will have expandable storage, giving players twice as much room to store their favorite games.
The expandable storage, which goes up to 1TB, “matches internal storage exactly,” says Microsoft. These cards have been built by Seagate and offer “optimal performance” for any games running from it. Xbox Series X players will be able to run older Xbox games from USB 3.1 hard drives but you won’t be able to get the bells and whistles of games optimized for the Xbox Series X architecture.
A Microsoft spokesperson told Verge :
Games optimized for Xbox Series X and the Velocity Architecture need to be run from the internal SSD or the Expandable Storage Drive
The Seagate storage cards are small and seem easy to slot into the back of the Xbox Series X console . However, players could run into issues if the they’re in short supply.
