Anyone know if you can plug an external hard drive into a different Xbox than it's been used for and not have to format it?

As in I buy a Xbox One S can I just continue using my 3TB External as if it was with my standard Xbox One?

Haven't done it but I would assume you could do that since the operating system and everything it's formating for is the same, unless you're missing a major update or something

damn Mirror's Edge already. That's great news!
Along with Star Wars Battlefront I'm definitely getting another month of EA Access this year.

Only reason I ask is because when I sold my PS4 I kept my 1GB HDD and put the 500 GB back in and saved the 1TB drive for when I got another because  it was a new console you had to format the HDD so lost 900 GB of games :( I'm hopeing since it's and External drive rather than Internal it will work.

@Bold, Yeah, you don't have to format it.

That's good to know as I have 1.7 TB of games on it and didn't fancy redownloading stuff :)



I think it's safe to say I won't be buying TitanFalls or Battlefields this year. Gears all the way! This multiplayer is fantastic and I'm doing better than ever 😎 anyone else tried it yet? Oh and they have improved visuals alot since beta. Runs smoother too. Will try horde tonight.

Put around 20 hours into the Beta earlier this year and really enjoyed it, Was so smooth and had the good old Gears magic so I have high hopes of this been my go-to game for quite some time, Hopefulley will be jumping into the game on Sunday at the earliest, hopefully I can complete the campaign quite early on this time unlike Gears 2+3 when I played well over a month of just multiplayer before doing the campaign :)



Probably going to renew my EA Access subscription later this month.

Had some horrible matches, did some horde but when people drop out it is annoying and horde is long...I gave up at wave 40 because we ended up with three players.






They are doing a huge update in multiplayer in gears so if you also having trouble getting into a match the update is the issue.

Yeah, they definitely need to lower the percentage for Rare achievements. I have 25 pages of Rare achievements on TA, lol.

Yea over 50% as rare is kinda funny lol, Hopefully it will fixed/lowered to something like 10% of achieviements are rares.
