Dread it, run from it, the Storage Card gonna arrive in your Xbox Series X|S either way.
Flight Sim, Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 are gonna be big games in terms of size. Gears 5 is already huge, so is Forza Horizon 4 and Halo MCCC.
Some of the 3rd party offerings are no slouch either, like MLB The Show 21, and we can assume that future games such as Far Cry 6, Battlefield 2042 and others are gonna be big.
Stop fighting it and just get one already.
Hopefully the third-party solutions are coming soon because the Seagate one is still stupid expensive, but we gotta face the facts jack
Yeah when next gen really ramps up, this is going to be a problem. I’m already trading games in and out of cold storage on my Series X, and it’s a hassle.
They just announced another year of support for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, so that’s another year that it’s going to live on the SSD… Destiny 2 and Gears 5 aren’t going anywhere… There’s only room for a few more games after that.
Only thing I don’t like about the SSD. It was nice before to plug in an external hard drive and just see the number go up and that was all you had to worry about. Now we’ve got to manage the different tiers of space.
Yep. I already planned to order one next month, as I’m juggling between games, deleting one to make room for a new one, and that’s just not practical.
And considering the store infos for these new games, Battlefield 2042 will be 60Gb at launch, FH5 = 96Gb, Halo Infinite will probably be 50Gb at least, but probably way more, and STALKER 2 will be 150Gb !! At this point, the SDD card is mandatory if you have a Series S.
At least with 1tb, you’re set for the next few years. And if games keep getting bigger like that, prices will go down fast, but yeah, I was not expecting the need to get one so soon tbh.
I disagree. I’m a GamePass junkie and with the ease of deleting games from the mobile app and downloading them via the GamePass app while I’m working makes this trivial.
It’s even more trivial if you have a portable HDD that you can use as cold storage.
