The Seagate &#8220;Game Drive for Xbox&#8221; 5TB USB 3.2 Portable Hard Drive is on sale for $169.99 with free shipping after a $50 instant discount. It&#8217;s sold and shipped by Newegg, an authorized Seagate reseller. Yes, this same drive could have been purchased for as low as $100 two years ago, but times have changed. This is currently <em>the <\/em>cheapest price I can find for a portable 5TB drive in today&#8217;s market.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Today Only: Seagate 5TB Portable Hard Drive for $169.99<\/h2>\n<div id=\"241874\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"241874\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"Seagate Game Drive for Xbox 5TB USB 3.2 Portable Hard Drive\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/08\/25\/seagategamedrive-1787694815638.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/08\/25\/seagategamedrive-1787694815638.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Seagate Game Drive for Xbox 5TB USB 3.2 Portable Hard Drive<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled=\"\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Just to clear up any confusion: although this drive is marketed as a &#8220;Game Drive for Xbox,&#8221; this is simply a standard portable hard drive with Xbox licensing and a green LED bar that matches the Xbox motif. The drive boasts real world transfers of up to 100-150MB\/s over USB 3.2. Probably the most annoying feature of this drive is that it has a USB 3.0 Micro-B connection, which isn&#8217;t very common. Fortunately, a USB Micro-B to USB Type-A cable is provided. It you lose it, you&#8217;re unlikely to have a spare and will probably need to buy a new one. A 1 year warranty is included.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
