Seagate is promoting the Game Drive’s lightweight design that needs no additional power cable.

The new Game Drive includes a one-year limited warranty, giving players peace of mind. The 2TB model of the Game Drive retails at $92.49, and the 4TB model retails at $139.99. Fans looking to grab theHorizon Forbidden WestLimited Edition Game Drive have the choice between a 2TB model for $99.99 and a 5TB model for $159.99. Seagate has big ambitions for the possibilities of gaming computer hard drives, and the company isplanning on releasing 120 TB hard drives in the next decade.
Fans of the Xbox console shouldn’t worry about feeling left out, either.Cheaper Xbox Series X expansion drives are coming from Seagate, meaning large external storage will be available for all console players. Gamers are certainly going to need it. Modern AAA video games are growing larger, and so is the storage space they require. The Xbox Series S has 512GB, while the Xbox Series X has 1TB storage. This has proved too small when titles, such asCall of Duty: Modern Warfare, exceed 100GB.
These will be a great alternative option for players who have found themselves quickly running out of memory space on their consoles. However, don’t expect these external hard drives to come cheap. The newSeagate storage expansion card costs almost as much as the Xbox Series X Consoleitself. Whilst some Xbox gamers will appreciate the choice, it might be too expensive for others. However, the recently announced PlayStation Game Drive has come onto the market at a fairer price point.
