If I fill up the Xbox One's drive so it can't be updated, what will happen and can it bypass the update?

Read the question. If you connect the drive to a PC beforehand, use a tool to convert it. However I assume the console may also detect the spam files and delete them?

It has a partition only for system updates, which gets cleared during boot.
Similar to PS4/5.
So if you fill the drive with other stuff, surely when the system partition gets cleared the next update is larger?

If the drive is 500GB, the system update partion is 5GB, is that partion filled with pointless stuff?

The partition is filled with nothing as long as there is no update available.
The space is always reserved for an update.
If you fill it with gargabe or alter it in any way, the Xbox will either format it during boot or not boot at all until a factory reset is done.

    I'm so pumped, NCAA football video game is back after a 10 year hiatus, coming to SeriesS/X, PS5 in July.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
