The drive itself features the rugged black WD_Black design and fits neatly into the storage expansion support with a plug-and-play installation.

What WD Had to Say

“Xbox consoles have been a much-beloved gaming staple in households around the globe for decades,” said Susan Park, vice president, global strategic partnerships at Western Digital.  “With the introduction of the WD_BLACK C50 Expansion Card for Xbox, gamers can continue to enjoy their favourite games with more flexibility so they can focus on accomplishing their next mission or defeating their final boss.”  

Price and Availability

The WD_BLACK C50 Expansion Card for Xbox retails for $79.99 MSRP (512 GB) and $149.99 MSRP (1 TB) and will be available today at the Western Digital store.  Additionally, the card comes with a 1-month trial of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
