Halo 5: Guardians for Xbox One Requires Up to 60GB Hard Drive Space

Halo 5: Guardians is possibly the biggest game that will release on the Xbox One this year. It’s the game we’ve all been waiting for since the botched launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Halo 5 promises to be the biggest entry yet in the famed series, but in more ways that one. To enjoy Halo 5, you’re going to need a fair amount of free space on your Xbox One’s hard drive.

According to the back of the game’s case, up to 60GB is needed. If you’re stuck with the stock 500GB hard drive, that’s more than 10% of the total space that you have for installing games. Bonkers.

If you own a 1TB Xbox One, chances are you’re going to be alright when it comes to installing the game. Some people will be more than alright, though, thanks to the Xbox One’s ability to use external hard drives for game storage. This essentially means you can bulk up your system’s storage without needing to fiddle with the box, and it’s pretty cheap to do, too.
