The proprietary memory card is going to be necessary for storing/accessing new titles designed to make use of their Velocity Architecture, any old external will do for games Xbox One or back-compatible games.

They did: "A USB 3.1 drive can also carry Xbox Series games as storage, which can be transferred to Series X or S's internal SSD or Storage Expansion Card to then be played." https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-series-ssd-expansion-card-size-speed-price-6300#section-1 https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-series-ssd-expansion...
- kumarharsh 6y agoThat's not entirely correct. You can use any regular old SSD: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-games-on-an-external-hard-drive-will-be-playable-straight-away-on-the-xbox-series-x-s/1100-6482760/ https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-games-on-an-external-...
