2026 is stacked with all kinds of big-time upcoming AAA Xbox games like Grand Theft Auto VI, Resident Evil Requiem, 007: First Light, and more.

No doubt these games will require dozens, or more likely, hundreds of gigabytes to install, so you're going to need the Seagate Storage Expansion Cards for Xbox Series X|S as their default internal 1TB SSD isn't going to cut it.

Now granted, these expansion cards are expensive, but, as someone who owns one myself, I can guarantee they're 100% worth the price of admission.

They will save you hours of hassle from deleting old Xbox games to make room for new ones. Plus, these cards will allow you to launch and play games directly from them, as opposed to normal external SSD units where you have to spend time moving games from the SSD into the Xbox console to play them.

So, if you need the best Xbox accessories to upgrade your Xbox Series X|S's storage unit, then the Seagate Storage Expansion Cards are your best bet.

The 1TB cards are available for $139.99 at Best Buy, the 2TB cards are available for $229.99 at Best Buy, and the 4TB cards are available for $429.99 at Best Buy.
