Microsoft has just recently slashed the pricing for its Expansion Cards that bumps the storage capacity of Xbox Series S and Series X gaming consoles. The company has officially dropped pricing and these changes are permanent.
Microsoft Xbox Series S/X Expansion Card are slightly more affordable now
The American tech giant has announced that the Expansion Cards will now start from just 90 US Dollars for its base 512GB storage variant. There are two more options, which includes the 1TB and 2TB version for larger storage expansion capacities. Overall, this marks a sizeable discount of over 30 percent for the Seagate Expansion Cards. For those unaware, the usual price tag for the 1TB and 2TB memory cards are 220 US Dollars and 280 US Dollars respectively.
So now, the 1TB model is available for just 150 US Dollars while the 2TB version is being offered for 280 US Dollars. While this price slash is welcomed, many still feel that Microsoft’s proprietary storage expansion options are still quite expensive. As sizes of AAA games easily crossing the 100GB mark, the 512GB option is basically too small, while the 2TB Expansion Card is as expensive as a mid range smartphone with its near 300 US Dollar price tag.
However, this move from the company makes these storage expansion options more accessible to many gamers that are in need of more storage on their latest gen Xbox console. Furthermore, it would even make them more competitive against the Sony PlayStation 5, which directly supports regular NVMe based SSDs.
