Yes, for Xbox 360 or Xbox One games. You can also store Xbox Series games on them, but not play the Series games off of them, you'd have to copy the games back to the internal drive (or to the expansion card if you had one) to play the Series games, as they need the faster drive speed.

Those are so expensive, are there not cheaper alternatives?

the alternative is the external hdd, and then transfer games when you want to play them.
