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.

I haven't even filled my 360's 250gb hard drive, 500gb is more than enough.

If someone uses up 500 gigs at launch then they should find something else to do

I guess 500gb could last for a while not for long though I hope they eventually add support because if they don't theres definitely gonna be a problem.

KarmaRambo Huge mistake by Microsoft, many people will run through the 500GB hard drive extremely quickly, I was planning on buying an external hard drive.


You do realise you get a hefty chunk of cloud storage, so the HDD will almost be soley used by game installs, and 500GB is probably around 40 games - there's not even going to be that many at launch


You must realize that you can't access the cloud without internet. Thus, you won't be able to access all your purchased content without internet.

Oh well, memory and backing up isn't a problem.

What does it matter if everything is in the cloud and you have to be connected to the internet.
