Xboxgamers on Series X and Series S consoles can now pick up the Seagate Storage Expansion Cards at significantly lower prices. TheXbox Series Xand S come with built-in storage, but many would agree that the internal storage on the consoles is simply not enough in today’s gaming environment.
Video game file sizes continue to balloon out of control, with some AAA games requiring well over 100 GB of data to install. Not only that, but the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, a major selling point for the newest Xbox consoles, means gamers have more games to download than ever before. While some are fine with regularly deleting games, others may want to keep certain titles downloaded and ready to go. Doing so requires aStorage Expansion Card, which was once a much pricier proposition.

Starting now, Xbox gamers can get the 512 GB card for $89.99, the 1 TB card for $149.99, and the 2 TB card for $279.99. This is a savings of $50, $70, and $120, respectively. Those that want to spring for the 1 TB or2 TB cardsare still going to be paying a pretty penny, but these are still massive discounts that should save Xbox gamers a lot of money and time. Anyone with a healthy digital gaming collection or who plays titles off Xbox Game Pass regularly will definitely want to consider taking the plunge on one of these cards.
Thesimplicity of Xbox’s storage expansionhas always been one of the advantages the Series X and S consoles have had over the PS5. Whereas PS5 storage expansion requires users to take the console apart, the Storage Expansion Cards work more like memory cards that older consoles use. All gamers have to do is plug them in, and at that point they can install and run games off both the internal storage and the bonus storage from the expansion card.
These price cuts are permanent, so Xbox gamers don’t have to rush out to get the cards. Needless to say, these steep discounts will likely be appreciated. This way, those who were priced out can expand their storage and no longer have to deal with constantly deleting things whenever they want to install something new. It should also help Xbox fans get more mileage out of theirXbox Game Pass subscriptions, as they might be willing to try more games if storage isn’t an issue.
