Microsoft is rolling out yet another software update for Xbox One owners on the Preview program. This new update includes a feature that allows gamers to manage any leftover add-ons for their games. The version number for the update is rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160705-1925.
Here's a look at the new features in this update, according to Microsoft's community forum post:
- Manage Leftover Add-ons: In the past you needed to install a game to manage its add-ons, which sometimes lead to having add-ons installed when the game associated with the add-ons was not. To address this, we've added a new option in Settings to help manage your leftover add-ons. To access this feature, launch the Guide and go to All Settings > System > Storage > Manage leftover add-ons. When you uninstall a game but leave the add-ons, the Manage leftover add-ons interface displays the leftover add-ons, and gives you the option to uninstall. Now venture forth, and reclaim your hard drive space for more gaming!
- Updates: We've added a new Updates tab to My games & apps where you can view games and apps with updates available, but not installed. Selecting a game or app from the Updates tab allows you to install the available updates. If your console is in Instant-On mode, game and app updates will be automatically installed the next time your console enters connected standby.
There's also a new list of bug fixes in this Xbox One Preview build:
- Users should no longer be able to purchase Xbox 360 backward compatible games from the Store without entering their password when their profile is set to "Lock It Down".
- Users should no longer be able to purchase movies or TV shows from the Store without entering their password when their profile is set to "Lock It Down".
- Resolved a majority of cases in which Store pages for purchased games sometimes display a "Buy" button rather than an "Install" button.
- Resolved an issue which caused EA Access games to fail to launch due to error 0x803f8003.

- This update contains a fix to address stuttering and framerate lag in certain games.
Finally, there's an updated list of known issues with this Xbox One Preview version:
