Third Xbox One Preview build of the week brings more bug fixes
The Xbox One Preview updates are launching thick and fast this week, with yet another build releasing yesterday evening.
Unlike July 12th's build that allowed Xbox One Preview members to disable Cortana and return to the previous voice commands, this latest build contains no new features. It provides a few much-needed bug fixes, though, as we get closer to the launch of the latest Xbox One update.
The latest build is titled rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160713-2005 and should be available now for anyone in the Xbox One Preview. Here are the full details.
