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.

gtapro151 haha with microsoft over priced drives only watch...and its necessary with 2-19 gb updates not including dlc lol


What do you think external storage support is? Because I'm not sure you remotely understand. Their not going to force the use of Microsoft certified drives, that's the whole point in the update, to use your own.
