Q: this works for xbox series X right ?
A: Hi, mjuchiha! Regarding your question about the Western Digital My Passport 4TB - Black: No, this external HDD is a USB 2.0 drive and you would need one with a USB 3.0 to play Xbox One games. Bear in mind even with a USB 3.0 external HDD you will only be able to play Xbox One games and not new Series X/S games as they require the speeds provided by a SSD. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact MyTGTtech at 877-698-4883 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.
