I was wondering if I was able to take a external hard drive while at home and install updates and stuff for a game on it and then unplug it and bring it somewhere else and on a different Xbox where there is no Wi-Fi be able to use that game the same. I am at a place that has no wifi but want to install Halo Infinite. I am at a place that has an Xbox 1 s and I want to use the wifi there to install the full game then take it back to the Xbox with no Wi-Fi and play it the same. Will this work? I own it on disk

i dont believe so. its all packaged together. it will better if u just copy the entire game. i think the xbox without wifi need at the very least needs to be online to sign in on ur acct that has permissions to halo infinite.

So if I just copy the entire game it will work?

I own the game on disk so I don't think the account will be an issue

I mean if I can just copy the entire game onto the hard drive that works too

It should work, actually, as long as you use the disc on the offline Xbox. Just make sure you delete any other copies of Halo Infinite so it knows to use the up to date one on the hard drive.
