The line-up for 2026's upcoming Xbox titles is stacked with heavy hitters like Resident Evil Requiem, Halo: Combat Evolved, Final Fantasy VII: Remake's Xbox port, 007: First Light, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, and much more.

As you can imagine, these AAA titles are going to require a ton of install space on your Xbox Series X|S to the point where you will be forced to uninstall some of your favorite games to make room for new ones.

With Seagate's Storage Expansion Cards, however, you won't have to deal with that. They'll add more space on top of your Xbox Series X|S's internal 1TB SSD while allowing you to play games directly from the cards, unlike traditional external SSDs, which can only store games.

Now granted, these cards are extremely expensive with high MSRPs for $159.99 (1TB), $259.99 (2TB), and $499.99 (4TB). However, I can assure you that they're well worth the investment.

I own one of these cards (the 1TB variant), and it has saved me hours of monotonous game storage management while allowing me to carry my games and save files to play at a friend's house on their Xbox in case we can't access Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Cloud Gaming.
