Yes, you can! You can store and play Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox games directly from an external HDD. However, for Xbox Series X games, you'll need the internal SSD or the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for the best experience.

Hot take: Just get the Seagate Expansion Card. It鈥檚 pricier but worth it for the speed and simplicity.

I do this all the time. Works like a charm for older games and saves room on the internal SSD for my Series X titles.
