The Game Drive for Xbox will be available later this month. The 2TB Game Drive for Xbox allows you to store 50+ games with an average game size of 35 to 50GB. "This exciting new collaboration with Microsoft is an important milestone for Seagate that will help us to reach a new audience, which has an insatiable appetite for storage," Seagate's Jeff Fochtman says. Blockbusters like Battlefield or The Witcher frequently feature installs that approach 50GB, and as more gamers move to digital games, the problem is only going to get worse.Īnd for Seagate, it's a chance to move into a new market, as the hard drive business continues to give way to cloud storage options. Managing your digital games wasn't supposed to be a problem for the Xbox One - Microsoft once said that the console would "make storage management automatic" - but game installs just keep getting bigger, making add-ons like Seagate's Game Drive necessary.
It wouldn't look out of place sitting in an entertainment unit alongside your consoles.
The tiny box is covered in a distinctly Xbox shade of green, and features an embossed Xbox logo that almost makes it look like a first-party piece of hardware. I cannot use it for storing games/apps and there is no option to reformat the drive for games/apps. When I plug it into the Xbox One, it is detected but only for music and other media. If you don't want to buy a whole new console, though, Seagate might have just what you're looking for with its new Game Drive for Xbox, a 2TB hard drive designed to work with both the Xbox One and 360.Īnnounced today at Gamescom 2015, the drive will cost you $109.99, and utilizes USB 3.0 for what the company describes as "an easy plug-and-play connection." Of course, Seagate's new hard drive is far from the only option, but it differentiates itself in one key way: it looks great. I bought a Seagate Expansion 2TB 3.5-Inch Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 for my Xbox One. Storing digital games is becoming a big problem for console owners - so much so that both Microsoft and Sony have released beefed up, 1TB versions of their home consoles.
