@pogchamp9446 2 года назад

So basically for any game that is “Optimized for series X/S” requires the special memory card. HOWEVER - all of your older games that were released prior to the Series editions are playable from *any* external storage. The only requirement is that it has to be 128gb or more and then it has to be USB 3.0 at minimum. So if you play Warzone or Apex, those run from the USB externals. If you want to play Resident Evil Village Optimized for X/S it has to be located on the internal drive or the Seagate memory card.

Quick question regarding USB external hard drives on the Series X, can you plug more than 1 in at a time or is limited to just 1 USB hard drive and the SSD expansion card? Only reason I ask is because on the Xbox One, I use 2 USB hard drives and I can't find a single webpage that mentions if you can do this on the Series X as well.

@makaiokalahama 3 года назад

Wait, so... I'm still confused about this after watching a few of these guides on this topic. Does Xbox series X not let you play non-series X games off of an external HDD? For a comparable example, the PS5 specifically has a setting that states "transfer all PS4 games to external storage" whenever you insert a PS4 game. Once it has finished installing it to the external, you can play it from there. It's extremely simple and a seamless process. Is this same sort of system not in place for the Series X.? From what I'm seeing in the video, you're able to install backwards compatible games onto an external, but you have to transfer them back onto the series X SSD before you're able to play them. Is this incorrect? Thanks

@GeekStreet 3 года назад

Older games not optimised for Xbox can be played off the hdd but optimised games have to be moved off onto the internal storage.

@makaiokalahama 3 года назад

@@GeekStreet I see. I don't think the PS5 has this requirement (correct me if I'm wrong), you can play PS4 optimized games off the external, which is a pretty notable downside for the XSX. Where you're able to dedicate all internal memory for PS5 games only & keep everything else on an external, if your XSX internal memory is already short with current gen games, you may have to start making cuts just to play a previous-gen game. Unfortunate setup to have in place I feel. Is there a way to tell if it is an optimized Xbox game to know ahead of time? Sorry for all the questions, I haven't gamed on console in 7+ yrs but am getting back into it now with both of the new systems!

You can only play games that are not optimized for XSX from other drives besides the Seagate 1tb. For instance, an Xbox One title. So you'll eventually need to get a seagate if you fill enough of your internal storage with XSX content, given if you desired to continue playing more xsx stuff.
