It’s never been a better time to purchase an Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S with more gaming storage cards announced to hit shelves soon. According to reports, Microsoft recently announced that cheaper Xbox storage cards are on the way and expanded storage for the Xbox family of consoles will soon become much more affordable.
The storage cards are part of Microsoft’s Seagate expansion card range and provide additional storage for Xbox consoles, allowing gamers to store more games and apps than what is provided within the console’s internal hard drive.
Currently, the Seagate expansion cards are available in 512GB and 1TB sizes with a price tag between $220 and $250 depending on the location. While these prices may not be ideal for all gamers, reports suggest that new and cheaper storage cards are being designed and should become available to everyone soon.
Microsoft recently announced that the newest series of cheaper storage cards are going to arrive in three sizes: 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. They will be up to 80 percent cheaper than the existing cards, meaning that the new 128GB storage card will cost around $40, while the 256GB version will cost $80 and the 512GB card should go around the $160-mark.
This move from Microsoft should come as great news to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S owners, who can now make use of this more accommodating storage space solution. With the ever-growing library of Xbox games, as well as its accompanying updates and DLC, it can become difficult for gamers to keep their games within the console’s internal storage space. Moreover, with both the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S having 1TB and 512GB internal storage space respectively, more will be needed for keeping games properly organised.
The new storage cards from Microsoft should not only drastically reduce the cost of storage consumption for Xbox owners, but they should also provide a much-needed boost to the amount of storage space available to them. This should allow gamers to enjoy their favourite titles without having to worry about space constraints.
With the release of the new Xbox storage cards, gamers can look forward to expanded gaming experiences on their Xbox console. Prices for Xbox storage cards will undoubtedly become much more reasonable when the new range is released in the near future.
