Xbox has a new beta software update rolling out today for Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring that enables Series X and S systems to support much larger external hard disks. Previously, the Xbox could only support up to 16TB of space on a single USB-connected drive.

Microsoft has announced that Xbox consoles will soon support external USB drives larger than 16TB. This new feature is currently being rolled out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring as part of a system software update. The update can give users more storage options for their games and apps. According to Microsoft,

It's good news for anyone looking to back up their entire collection of Xbox games.

The addition of support for bigger external USB storage has been confirmed for Xbox Insiders, as part of a system software update rolling out now to public testers in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As ever, this new feature will slowly filter out to larger testing groups before its widespread public release, typically over the next couple of weeks.

Members of the Xbox Insider Program can now use hard drives larger than 16TB, giving them vastly more storage space to keep even more games.
