Xbox One X hard drive space issues? From Microsoft they recommend thinking about an external disk
We are all attracted to the idea of being able to exploit the graphics with 4K resolution and HDR support that the Xbox One X promises for some games. This improvement in the image, however, entails a consideration and that is thatIt requires the installation of the respective patch released by the game developer
In this sense, there is one more concern regarding the storage capacity of the console and that is that although the size of the patches will not be exaggerated, they will occupy more space than conventional updates.Very valuable space on the hard drive that will be taken away from installing games and which has led Albert Penello, Xbox marketing director, to recommend to users of the Xbox One X to be done with an external hard drive.
The problem of space is there despite the fact that the console has an internal 1 TB hard drive A capacity that could fly in the event that developers released patches to make games work at supposed 4K resolution or include various graphical enhancements."

It is clear with these statements that although space is not a problem right now, it is a matter of time before updates in the form of patches, digital game downloads and DLC, all with support for playing in 4K UHD, end up devouring the storage capacity of an Xbox One X that may have been too short. In that case we will soon see a model with a larger hard drive
