The Ultimate Starfield Experience: Seagate's Hard Drives Take Gaming to a Whole New Level

Bethesda's highly anticipated spacefaring RPG, Starfield, has been generating a lot of buzz lately, with the latest news revealing that Seagate has released a themed hard drive specifically designed for the game. Seagate is widely regarded as a top-tier hard drive manufacturer, known for producing high-speed and dependable drives that are especially popular among gamers.

While Seagate also produces expansion cards for Xbox Series consoles, these can be prohibitively expensive, often costing nearly as much as an entire Xbox Series S. As a result, many gamers may opt for a more budget-friendly external hard drive instead. Fortunately, Seagate offers a range of external hard drives that provide gamers with a good balance of affordability and performance, making them a great choice for those on a budget.

Starfield enthusiasts can now get their hands on a Seagate-manufactured Xbox game drive with a Starfield-inspired design. The top of the white external drive is decorated with the iconic circular Starfield logo, along with Xbox and Seagate logos embossed on it. The drive also boasts customizable RGB lighting and additional details on its sides, completing its sleek look. Available in two capacities, 2TB and 5TB, the Starfield Special Edition Xbox game drive can be purchased on Best Buy's website for $109 or $169, respectively.

It has been announced that Starfield on PC will require an SSD-type drive. This means that individuals who are still using hard disk-type drives will need to upgrade their hardware to play the game. Additionally, Starfield's install size is expected to exceed 100GB, so potential players should keep this in mind when considering an upgrade. While it is currently unknown whether the Starfield special edition Xbox game drive can be used on a PC, it is likely that it can be formatted to NTFS, the preferred hard drive format for Windows machines. However, since Xbox requires the use of the exFAT format, this remains speculation.

Starfield is set to launch on September 6 for both PC and Xbox Series X/S. It's worth noting that the game has been confirmed as a day-one release on Xbox Game Pass, giving subscribers the chance to play Bethesda's first new universe in 25 years without having to pay the full price at launch. This is great news for fans of the studio and for those who are looking to explore the vastness of space in Starfield.
