I use a 4TB external hard drive on my Xbox Series X for all my Xbox One and backward-compatible games. Works like a charm!

Absolutely! You can definitely use an external hard drive with your Xbox Series X to store and play last-gen Xbox One games. For Series X games, though, you'll need to transfer them to your internal SSD to play them.

Yes, but only for Xbox One games. Series X games can only play from internal storage or the official expansion card.

External hard drives work for storing games, but you鈥檒l need to transfer Series X games to the internal SSD for playing.

Yup, but remember, for the super-fast, optimized Series X games, you gotta move them to the internal SSD. It's like trying to race a Ferrari but parking it in a garage.
