QuestionDoes this work with the Series X?
Asked 5 years ago by BroHammer513.
- Answer It definitely works with the older xbox one first gen, so it should with a series x. Note however that the drive has to be formatted by the xbox and then you can only use that drive for your xbox, and not put other stuff on it.
