Although PlayStation 5 owners have a wealth of SSD cards to choose from when upgrading their console storage, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S require officially-licensed expansion cards from Seagate and Western Digital. And that has resulted in pricey solutions in the last few years.

However, thanks to amazing early Black Friday deals, you can now bump up your Xbox console storage by an extra 1TB or more on a budget.

That's because the original Seagate and more recently released WD_Black C50 Storage Expansion Cards for Xbox Series X/S are each available with a great discount.

The 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card is just $149 (a 32% price drop), while the 1TB WD_Black C50 Storage Expansion Card is now 17% cheaper, at $124.99.

There's also a UK deal on the 2TB WD_Black C50 Storage Expansion Card, which we detail further down.

UK Xbox Storage Expansion Card Deals

Those in the UK looking for even more storage and don't mind spending a (fair) bit extra, there's a deal on the 2TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card, too.

Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S 2TB (UK): was £463.60, now £307.99 at Amazon

Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S 2TB (UK): was £463.60, now £307.99 at Amazon
Seagate's Storage Expansion Card works exactly the same as the WD_Black version. However, it goes up to 2TB in size, so has even more space for your games.

Remember, while Xbox One games can be played from external storage on an Xbox Series X/S, you cannot play the full, next-gen versions unless they are stored on the internal drive or an authorised Expansion Card like the ones above.

Do you need Amazon Prime membership?

You do not need to be an Amazon Prime member to get the above deals, but it could help on the speed and cost of delivery – you might even be able to get your new card with a same-day turnaround.

What's more, there is a 30-day trial offer on Amazon Prime for new members, so you don't have to pay anything for the first month and can even cancel at any time.
