Follow Us
There is a lot of news on the next-gen console front, but not everything is encouraging. With games sporting features like ray tracing and 4K graphics, questions were raised about space management on consoles. Xbox seems to have managed this front on an excellent note with a new feature.
Xbox Series X will allow gamers to uninstall parts of games without harming its integrity. This will be an optional feature, a great relief on the space front nonetheless. This will ensure that the 1TB space provided goes a long way.
This news comes after Xbox revealed its storage management plans in September. Both the consoles will come with an expansion slot. The expansion drive has to be bought separately and will set back consumers by $299.

“Let’s say you play a campaign, as an example, and then you want to focus exclusively on multiplayer.
