Talking Point: Xbox Series X|S Owners, How's Your Storage Looking In 2026?

It's an annual tradition for us here at Pure Xbox to poll the community about how you've been managing your Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S storage over the past twelve months, and somehow it's already time for the 2026 edition!

Going back over the last few years, it's interesting to see how the poll results have changed. In 2024, for example, more of you told us that your Xbox Series X and/or Xbox Series S internal storage was "91-100%" full than in 2025, but more people also bought some kind of extra storage option for their console in 2025.
