Xbox Prime Day deals: big discounts on Xbox One external hard drives

(Image credit: TechRadar)

Amazon is offering big discounts on a range of Xbox One external hard drives as part of its Prime Day deals event this year. Xbox One external hard drives allow you to store extra save data and games, beyond your Xbox One's internal capabilities – and without having to tinker with the innards of your console.

And, with Xbox Game Pass continuing to build even more steam, you'll be wanting as much Xbox One storage as you can get your hands on, so that you can download all the games that take your fancy, without having to delete others.

Luckily, Amazon is offering some fantastic Xbox external hard drive deals on products from Seagate and Western Digital, with some products even including free access to Xbox Game Pass for a limited time.

This is a great time to get a deal on an Xbox One external hard drive – especially if you're holding off on getting an Xbox Series X for a while. But if nothing here takes your fancy then it's worth keeping an eye on Black Friday deals, where we're expecting even more discounts on external console hard drives.
