Future Xbox One update will add external hard drive support

4.4
Microsoft says friend notification improvements are also planned

Microsoft has confirmed that introducing support for external hard drives is one of its main priorities for future Xbox One system updates.

The news came from Xbox chief product officer Marc Whitten, as he detailed today's big Xbox One system update.

"We value all of the feedback we're getting from you," he said. "We know external hard drive storage is another big one on your list, It's on our list too. We're working on that for a future update and will keep you posted."

Whitten also confirmed that a tweaked friend notification system is high on Microsoft's to-do list. "We're working on friends notification improvements and experimenting with how to make that better," he said.

"Just as we do with Xbox 360, we'll be continuing regular updates to Xbox One: some will be big, like this March update, and some will be smaller. Big or small, we're committed to delivering continuous innovation through system updates like this one."

The latest Xbox One update makes user interface improvements to Xbox Live, spurred by the upcoming release of Xbox and PC exclusive multiplayer shooter Titanfall. Users will also be able to broadcast their footage on Twitch thanks to an update to the Twitch app scheduled for March 11.

PM-Kasper Tired of all the comments i see everywhere "Should have been in the console already". They obviously did not have enough time to do it, Why release the console then you may ask? They need to compete with sony or they would have gotten completely dominated


It is ludicrous that you think this addition is time-consuming. It could have been done, and should have been done. I have every Xbox ONE game and I now have no storage in my console. It was a poorly planned release, which is now leading to consumers suffering from lack of storage space.

Exactly, this should have been there day one. It's sad how Microsoft is able to get away with it too.


I say sony gets away with more. People forget that the PS4 couldn't even play MP3s or CDs at first. Not as big as a problem, but still very bothering to some.

If you have ALL of the Xbox One games then what else do you need to store? By the time the next game comes out the update will most likely be in effect. Consumerism brings out the idiots in their droves I swear.

They're not going to limit the amount of external storage space again right? Right?
