Xbox Series X 2TB Expansion Card Gets Big Discount At Amazon And Best Buy

Xbox Series X|S owners can expand their storage capacity for less right now thanks to a nice deal at Best Buy and Amazon. Seagate’s 2TB Expansion Card is on sale for $200 at both retailers. Amazon is matching Best Buy’s deal, which is one of many early Black Friday gaming and tech deals at Best Buy this week. Seagate’s 2TB model is the largest officially licensed Xbox expansion card.

You can run out of space on your Xbox Series X|S surprisingly fast. The 1TB Series X has 802GB of usable space, while the base model Series S clocks in at 364GB. Modern AAA games eat up space quickly, and if you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, deleting games to make room for new ones can become the norm.


You can plug regular USB external hard drives into your Xbox Series X|S, but these drives can only serve as storage for Series X|S games. If you want to play those games again, you would need to transfer them back to your Xbox’s SSD.

Seagate’s and Western Digital’s Expansion Cards are plug-and-play extensions of your Xbox’s SSD. You can store and boot games just as you would with games installed to internal storage.

Thanks to the Xbox Velocity proprietary technology, there’s no loss of data transfer speed either as you’ll still enjoy very fast loading times on your games and the Quick Resume function to switch between them in mere seconds.

If you’re in the market for an Xbox this holiday, the 1TB Series X is on sale for $448 at Walmart.

One of the best Xbox deals available now is Amazon’s Xbox Cloud Gaming bundle for $75. It comes with an Xbox Wireless Controller, 4K Amazon Fire Stick, and a one-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription. We’re calling it an Xbox Cloud Gaming bundle, because Fire TV 4K Sticks now support cloud streaming, which is exclusive to Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.


But even if you don’t care about cloud streaming, getting a Sky Cipher Special Edition Controller with a 4K Fire Stick for $75 is a stellar deal. The transparent blue controller released in August and sells for $64 (was $70) on its own at Amazon. Xbox released a clear transparent controller called Ghost Cipher last month; while this one isn’t eligible for the bundle deal, it is on sale for $60 (was $70).
