Compatible Consoles

• Xbox Series X

It plugs directly into the dedicated Storage Expansion port located on the console.

Play Series X|S Games Directly from the Card

One of the most important advantages of the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is the ability to play Xbox Series X|S optimized games directly from the expansion storage.

With ordinary USB external drives, many Series X|S optimized titles must be transferred to internal or expansion-card storage before they can be played.

With the Seagate Expansion Card, supported current-generation games can be:

• Installed
• Stored
• Updated
• Launched
• Played

directly from the expansion card.

Xbox Velocity Architecture

The Seagate Storage Expansion Card is designed to work with Xbox Velocity Architecture, the storage architecture used by Xbox Series X|S.

This allows the expansion card to provide performance designed to be consistent with the console's internal SSD.

Benefits include:

• Fast game loading
• High-speed asset streaming
• Optimized next-generation game performance
• Quick Resume support
• Direct gameplay from expansion storage

Quick Resume Support

The expansion card supports the Quick Resume functionality of Xbox Series X|S.

Quick Resume allows compatible games to remain suspended so users can switch between titles and return to gameplay without performing a complete restart.

The expansion card is designed to preserve this experience when supported games are installed on it.

Plug-and-Play Installation

Installing the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is simple.

Insert the card into the dedicated Storage Expansion port on the rear of the Xbox Series X or Series S.

No additional:

• Power adapter
• USB cable
• Data cable
• Internal installation
• Console disassembly

is required.

The console automatically recognizes compatible expansion storage.

Compact & Removable

The expansion card's compact form factor makes it easy to install, remove, and carry.

This can be useful for players who want to:

• Expand their console storage
• Carry installed games
• Move a game library between compatible Xbox Series consoles
• Avoid downloading large games again
• Keep additional games ready to play

No Game Transfers Required

With compatible Xbox Series X|S optimized titles, users do not need to transfer games between a conventional external USB drive and the console's internal SSD before playing.

Games installed on the Seagate Storage Expansion Card can be played directly from it, making game-library management more convenient.

Backward-Compatible Games

The card can also store compatible games from previous Xbox generations, including:

• Xbox One
• Xbox 360
• Original Xbox

Backward-compatible game support depends on the individual title and Xbox compatibility program.
