New Xbox One Update With External HDD and Games With Gold Support LIVE

Spartan AssaultMicrosoft just began rolling out the new Xbox One update for June.  The new update includes a few small and a couple big updates that gamers will be excited to have.  The biggest one is the external hard drive support being added in for game saves, game installs, on top of physical Xbox-to-Xbox data migration.  So if you have that digital copy of Halo: Spartan Assault you can take it to your friend’s house and play it off the hard drive as long as you’re signed into your account to play.  Not bad, eh?

Speaking of Spartan Assault, the Games With Gold program also goes live with the new update being installed.  The first two games for Xbox One owners available for free are Halo: Spartan Assault and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood.  As soon as you update your Xbox One you should be able to pick these titles up for free as long as you’re an Xbox Live Gold subscriber.  If you don’t have this service yet and have online access, you owe it yourself to pick up the service and cash in on the free games and discounts available only to Gold members (no Austin Powers joke intended).
