Xbox One could support external hard drives sooner than we thought if a leaked image posted on Reddit is the real deal.

Microsoft's Xbox ambassador Major Nelson said back in early April support was coming soon, but couldn't provide a timeframe.

The image posted on Reddit comes courtesy of a "confirmed XB1 Dev" posting as XboxOneDev.

If the image is authentic, it's possible Microsoft could announce external hard drive support during its E3 2014 stage presentation next month.

Thanks, OXM.
