According to Xbox Live's Major Nelson the Xbox One will be receiving support for additional game storage space from external hardware in a upcoming system update. Nelson let this tidbit drop via a recent Reddit comment, "Lots of good work going on to make the console even better - some you'll see soon, some will show up later. External game storage is coming soon." Specifics like how much memory would be supported or even a rough time frame for launch were not given at by Major Nelson at this time but we'll keep you posted of this and all future Xbox One news.

NBC Is there even a spot for another hdd? like in the slim it had an internal and you could put one in. I don't think a usb will do the trick anymore


The clue is in the title...EXTERNAL and considering it uses USB 3.0 it'll be fast enough.


I understand that but i haven't seen any 1tb usbs floating around...

They are all over the place, and by the way even though it is USB 3.0 it wont be very fast. The internal will be faster.

-LOST- My Xbox One's HDD is already 25% full. They should never have made it internal.


Internal is fine they should've just made it like 1 terabyte instead of 500gb.
