Xbox storage limit is lifted
In Xbox consoles, a 16TB border has been applied for external storage devices so far. With the new update, this limit will disappear and users will be able to use larger storage units. According to Microsoft’s statement, users who use a larger external storage unit need to re -format their devices in order to benefit from this capacity. The update will first be available to Alpha Skip-Ahead users in the Xbox Insider program and will be activated for all users in a few weeks.
The new update will be very useful especially for modern games. However, the Xbox Series X/s optimized games will not be played from external USB drives. These games can only be operated on the internal SSD of the console or on NVME SSD expansion cards. External storage units can be used for data storage for these games.

This feature will allow players to notice the discounts that they have not yet accessed. This update, which aims to provide more flexibility and storage to Xbox users, will be a solution to the increasing dimensions of modern games.
