Both the PS4 and Xbox One will ship with 500GB hard drives. The PS4′s drive is user-upgradable, but the Xbox One’s is most certainly not. Even so, both consoles sport USB 3.0 ports, so expanding the storage should be simple, right? Sadly, that’s not the case. At least at launch, neither the PS4 or Xbox One will have full support for external hard drives.
Speaking at the recent Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Seattle, Microsoft’s Larry Hryb (otherwise known as Major Nelson) let it slip that external drive support likely won’t make it in time for the November launch. According to Hryb, the team is “working on other things,” so this feature is clearly taking a backseat. Likely, this delay is due, in part, to the now-infamous PR nightmare that led to Microsoft making a complete policy reversal. When you have to go back to the drawing board only a few months from the drop-dead ship date, it’s no surprise that features start to slip.
