Xbox Series Fans Have More Space for Their Third Place Console

by

Excitingly, as an avid Xbox Series enthusiast, I can’t help but share some fantastic news! Microsoft has expanded the storage capabilities of our beloved consoles, Series S and X, now accommodating USB drives larger than 16Terabytes. This is undeniably good news for us Xbox fans, and it might just be a hint to Sony to consider similar upgrades for their PlayStation 5.

The Xbox’s official blog post reveals that drives with capacities of 16TB or larger are now compatible for saving greater amounts of games, apps, and other data. Given the expansive storage requirements of contemporary video games, this development brings much-appreciated relief to fans of Series S and X consoles. Additionally, it’s significant that Microsoft is focusing on digital consoles; thus, their continual enhancement of storage solutions is certainly a positive trend.

Microsoft strongly advocates for backward compatibility, which means Xbox Series owners can continue playing their Xbox One and 360 games without any hassle. While it might seem counterproductive to those trying to clear their game backlogs, the joy of having more games at your disposal is undeniable. However, we do recommend managing your backlog effectively, but who doesn’t love a bit more gaming fun?

Given that Microsoft is often perceived as a “third competitor” next to Sony and Nintendo, especially with the announcement of the Switch 2, actions like these are beneficial. Although they may not persuade die-hard Switch and PS5 fans to switch, they could sway potential Xbox buyers. Moreover, this move opens up more room for playing Call of Duty games, which tend to require a substantial amount of storage space.

Here’s what we currently understand regarding storage expansion for the Xbox Series consoles. If you’re interested in other Xbox-related updates, don’t forget to explore the supposedly upcoming release date of Doom: The Dark Times.
