Xbox One: external storage won’t be supported at launch

4.6
Xbox One will not allow you to add external storage for games or media installs at launch, Microsoft has confirmed.

The news comes from the latest Major Nelson podcast. Answering a fan question at PAX about the feature, he said: “The future plan is for definitely to support external storage much like we do on the Xbox 360.

“My understanding is that feature will not be there at launch because the team is working on some other things, but it definitely is on the list. I don’t know when it will come in though.”

Xbox One will ship with a 500Gb internal hard drive, and it was confirmed back in May that users can’t replace the internal drive.

Sony has said it will allow users to change their internal PS4 hard drives come launch.

Daw I think 500GB is enough storage. A bit extra if you ask me.


For most people it will be alright for the first year or so, but people who are really big on downloading games may manage to fill it up.

Wokze 500g, I think that's too much, but its good I guess :D at least no one can complain about the size of the hard drive.


It's a good thing, since the nextgen games will take alot of the harddrive space, I think.

Raci Thanks alot of room considering I haven't even use half of my 120 Gig


Haha same, I have 250 GB and I've used about a quarter of it, in about 6 years


Same, I hardly use harddrive space and if I do, it's all for DLC's.
