While Activision has been striving to shrink its notoriously huge Call of Duty games so they take up less storage space, you may still need more room on your console. That’s true even if you have the new Xbox Series X with 2TB of built-in storage. Games can quickly fill an internal SSD and if you’re an Xbox Series X/S gamer, Seagate’s expansion card is perhaps the way to go.
The 2TB variant is on sale at the minute. It has dropped to an all-time low of $200. That’s $160 off the regular price.
Look, proprietary storage stinks, but the choice for Series X/S owners looking for more space is largely between Seagate’s Storage Expansion Card and WD’s Black C50. It’s possible to store Series X/S games on a regular external drive, but you’ll need to move them to internal storage or an expansion card anyway to actually play them. If you don’t want to deal with shifting large files around and waiting for transfers to complete, or you don’t want to delete and download games more than is necessary, an expansion card is the way to go.
Seagate’s version is one of our picks for the best Xbox Series X/S accessories. The 2TB version should give you ample space — at least until you start filling it up with all of the huge Call of Duty games that have started hitting Game Pass.
