Xbox 360 Update Increased USB Storage Limit

The Xbox 360’s latest dashboard update has upped the console’s compatibility with USB drives up to 32GB.

CVG reports that this update was released in October and listed for the update was in the inclusion of the Internet Explorer web browsers, the console’s compatibility with Smartglass and Xbox video.

But the console’s increased compatibility with 32GB USB drives wasn’t mentioned.

A Microsoft rep confirmed the feature. “The more our customers use their profile and download digital content, the larger the file size necessary to store that content and move it between consoles gets. Therefore we increased the size of the memory to enable our customers to take more of their Xbox profile with them on the go,” said the rep.
