Today's Xbox One Preview build is rolling out with further tweaks to Home, My Games and Apps
Over the past week, we've seen a continual chain of updates for Xbox One Preview members, with new builds of the operating system arriving almost daily.
As if it's a surprise now, another Xbox One update is on its way to preview members using the latest edition of the dashboard. With the update pushing closer towards its public release, it's paired with a brief list of bug fixes.
Unlike recent Xbox One Preview builds, tonight's release, titled rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160725-1822, will be rolling out slightly later, at 6:30 p.m. PDT.
Here are the fixes arriving as a part of today's update:

Less than a week remains until the release of Windows 10's Anniversary Update, which shortly precedes the public release of August's Xbox One overhaul. If the current momentum continues, we can expect further tweaks and bug fixes up until the public rollout.
