Support for external hard drives over 16TB is on the horizon for Xbox users, with a new feature being rolled out to Xbox Insider members first. This update will expand the storage capacity beyond the previous limit, allowing for larger external hard drives that will need to be reformatted to work with the new feature. Manufacturers like Western Digital are already offering drives with 18TB and 28TB capacities, suggesting a positive shift towards more affordable high-capacity options in the future. These external hard drives are a popular and cost-effective alternative to the official Xbox Storage Expansion Card and provide more storage options for gamers at a lower cost. The update is expected to be available to all users in the coming weeks, offering more flexibility and choices for Xbox players.

Concerns also arise about potential US tariffs affecting game prices and physical releases.
