As much as I love the Xbox Series X and PS5, the internal storage situation for both consoles is far from ideal. I’m constantly having to delete games to make room for new ones, which is probably why my gaming backlog is longer than the GTA 6 development time. It must be particularly frustrating for Xbox Series S users, who only have 512GB of internal storage to play around with! When you factor in new Xbox Game Pass releases and monthly PlayStation Plus games, you can see why hard drives from companies like Seagate are seen as essential purchases. The ultimate upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, external hard drives allow you to store additional games, which can either be transferred to your console’s SSD or played directly from the drive – specifically last-gen games from the PS4 or Xbox One. If you’re looking to expand your storage, then you’ll want to hurry to Amazon, where the company is selling external hard drives for massively discounted prices. Just click the links below to make savings.
I use my Seagate external drive to store PlayStation 4 games, which I can play on the PS5 without having to transfer anything over.
It frees up my PS5 for newer games that are only available on the current-gen system, and require the SSD to run.
Likewise, I’ve got an external hard drive for my Xbox Series X, which is full of Backwards Compatible classics that don’t really benefit from the console’s SSD.
Xbox Series owners looking for something a bit more powerful can also make savings on Seagate’s 2TB Storage Expansion Card.
Unlike the external drives mentioned above, the Seagate Storage Expansion Card actually plugs in and works seamlessly with the Xbox Velocity Architecture.
The solid-state drive can play current-gen games at full speed, and without having to transfer anything over.
For a limited time only, Amazon is selling the Seagate 2TB Storage Expansion SSD Card for £226.99, which is a saving of more than 50% on the previous price.
It will definitely come in handy for games like Star Wars Jedi Survivor, which joined Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at the end of April.
Taking place five years after its predecessor, Jedi Survivor sees Cal Kestis once again take on the Empire.
“This narratively driven, single-player title picks up 5 years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows Cal’s increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further into darkness,” reads the official description.
“Pushed to the edges of the galaxy by the Empire, Cal will find himself surrounded by threats new and familiar.”
Likewise, PlayStation Plus subscribers can use the external PS5 hard drive to store the next batch of monthly games for May, which will be revealed soon.
