Growing your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S storage capacity is a wise move. Heck, it might even be a necessary move given the relative size of games in this latest generation’s catalog and the downloadable selection provided by Xbox Game Pass. And that’s not even counting the previous generations’ libraries as many original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games that can be played via backwards compatibility.
As a result, the console’s own storage will likely come under strain after you’ve installed just a handful of games. Extra storage will give precious breathing room, but with more options than ever before coming in this generation, Xbox users may often find themselves trying to come down on one side of the expansion card vs external hard drive fence.
