Seagate Announces 2TB Game Drive for Xbox At Gamescom 2015

Ybarra also revealed small morsels about the new dashboard, the goal of which is to make the Xbox One “faster and easier”. With the new Chatpad, you can quickly compose messages, enter codes, and search for games and apps. Not every gamer will want older titles on their new generation console, but considering the indie games, it’s clear there will be great AAA Xbox 360 games coming for free to Xbox One going forward. You will need an external hard drive.

As the game website states that Silver members won’t be able to use cloud storage, they won’t be able to move their saves from the cloud without the upgrade.

This is purely speculation of course, but with Activision wanting to put a focus on the Sony consoles now getting preferential treatment, would allowing backwards compatibility for Xbox One consoles overshadow this slightly?

“For Xbox One, we won’t charge you to play the games you already own”, Ybarra said.

After the upcoming upgrade, the Xbox users will get the opportunity to record free over-the-air TV shows live or in advance.

Seagate’s 2 TB “Game Drive” built specifically for the Xbox One and Xbox 360. Windows 10 phones, tablets and shows download these recordings as well so you can watch them anywhere even without an internet connection. The new Xbox will feature metallic blue detailing on both the console and controller and will be available for Dollars 499. After that, move over to the Xbox One and let it find your saves. Gamers can pre-order the bundles now, which will launch on September 15 for $349 (500GB) or $399 (1TB). In November, the functionality goes wide to all Xbox One users: Microsoft says at least “100 games” will be available at launch, and they’ll come from a variety of publishers other than Microsoft.
