New External 2TB Capacity Drive Upgrades
Storage for More Titles and Game Portability
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in data
storage solutions, today announced the new Game Drive designed for
PlayStation®4 (PS4™) systems to boost storage and offer game
portability1.
Available in 2TB capacity, the new Seagate Game Drive enhances
your PS4 system gaming capabilities and delivers easy installation
connecting directly to PS4 via USB cable. The officially licensed
Game Drive for PS4 offers graphical branding elements to match the
PS4 systems, as well as increased storage capacity so users can
retain older titles and add-ons while downloading new games.
“Games can average 40GB per title, so even the highest-capacity
internal console hard drives available can be maximized quickly,”
said Jeff Fochtman, vice president of marketing for Seagate.
“Seagate’s new Game Drive for PS4 offers a storage upgrade so users
can keep saved content while expanding their ability to download
new games and add-ons.”
Your PS4 system instantly recognizes Game Drive, and it is
installed in less than three minutes, so set-up is quick and easy.
Additionally, the drive is optimized for the PS4 systems. Seagate’s
compact and efficient Game Drive is portable and does not need a
separate power cord, so users can easily slip it into a pocket or
backpack and take their game library wherever they go. That is
instant, portable access to approximately 502 downloaded games,
add-ons and achievements for continued gameplay on any generation
of the PS4 system1 (System software version 4.50 or higher),
anywhere.
The new 2TB capacity Game Drive for PS4 systems is available in
North America this week at retailers and online for an MSRP of
$89.99 USD and $119.99 CAD. Please visit our website for more
