Can I play games directly from this drive?

Yes for Xbox One and backward-compatible titles. Games optimized for Xbox Series X|S must be moved to the console's internal storage or an expansion card to play.

Does it work with Xbox Series S?

Yes. It connects over USB and works with Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One.

How many games fit on 5TB?

It depends on game size, but 5TB holds well over 100 typical titles. Large current-gen games of 100GB or more still add up quickly.

Is it faster than the console's internal storage?

No. It is a spinning hard drive, so load times are slower than the internal SSD. It is for storage and older games, not for speed.

Does it need a power adapter?

No. It draws power from the console's USB port, so one cable is all it needs.

What comes in the box?

The drive and a USB cable. It does not include a USB-C cable.

Our take on the Seagate Game Drive for Xbox 5TB External USB 3.2 Gen 1 Portable Hard Drive

The Seagate Game Drive for Xbox is a 5TB portable USB hard drive built for Xbox consoles. It plugs into a USB port and holds a large game library, so you can move titles off the console's internal storage without deleting them. It is a spinning hard drive, so games load slower from it than from the console's internal SSD or an expansion card, but it stores far more for the same outlay. Owners rate it well for capacity and easy setup, and complain mainly about speed and the short warranty.
