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.

Scizor Microsoft will start charging $1/GB for cloud storage soon. Just wait. I can't help but feel putting such a small drive in this considering the size of the updates and games was part of their plan. It's too big of a crippling thing for them to have put in too small of a HDD by mistake.


500GB isn't that small :s, if you had a TB you'd still fill it easily on the Xbox One so storage will ALWAYS be a problem on there.

Backbone I have 179gb left. Now I have to spend another 80 odd quid to buy something that should of come with the damn console in the first place...


Well it didn't, you still bought it, quit whining and get over it. HDD's arent expensive these days.....

Orca Yet again another after release item. I'm sick of having to pay extra to get the complete package that should come with the initial release. Games do it all the time, now consoles!


No company would include an external hard drive with their console. I agree that support should have been here at launch, but you will have to pay for it either way.
