Xbox now supports external drives exceeding 16TB, expanding storage capabilities.

Microsoft is rolling out a new update for XBOX that takes its support for high-capacity drives to the next level. With the latest console software update, you can now use external hard drives with a whopping total capacity of over 20 TB. This exciting feature is available in software version 10.0.26100.3362 or later.

Previously, the console could already handle external drives up to 16 TB, which is more than enough space for most gamers’ entire collection. However, with this new software update, the Xbox can now support even larger drives, exceeding 20 TB. While Microsoft hasn’t specified the theoretical limit for storage capacity, the update notes mention that it will support more than 16 TB.

It’s important to note that for the Xbox Series X and S, the console only allows games designed for these models to be installed directly on the internal drive or the expansion packs provided by Microsoft. So, if you’re planning to take advantage of the increased storage capacity, make sure you’re using it for compatible games.

To check for the latest updates, simply head to the Settings menu on your console. The new version should be available for download there. Keep in mind that it may take a few days for the update to reach all units, so be patient if you don’t see it right away.

Having more storage space on your Xbox means you can have an extensive library of games at your fingertips. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, this update opens up new possibilities for expanding your gaming collection. So, go ahead and unleash your gaming potential with the Xbox’s enhanced storage support.
