External hard drive support is coming to Xbox 360 in a new update, Microsoft has announced.
The update will be available first to members of the Xbox 360 Preview Program before rolling out to all other users later this year, and allows Xbox 360 players to plug in up to two external hard drives to store games and downloadable content. Hard drives up to 2TB in size will be supported.
In addition, Microsoft says that it will “no longer reserve space in advanced on your hard drive. If you are using 16GB of hard drive space for games – we will only take 16GB of space.” It also warns that some drives may be incompatible or “have performance issues”, but does not appear to have released a list of recommended hardware.
Xbox One and Wii U already include support for external hard drives, and Sony says that it’s aware of requests for the functionality to be introduced on PS4. Xbox 360 currently includes support for 32GB USB flash drives.
A date for the Preview Program update has yet to be confirmed.
