DETAILS:--

• OS version released: rs1_xbox_rel_1606.160620-1700 Available: 6:00PM PDT 6/23 (1:00AM GMT 24/6) Thanks for helping us test the latest Xbox One update! We’re eager to show off the new features and experiences we’ve been working on. We’ve noted below a few important things to be aware of before you jump in.

• Certain content (games, apps, DLC) purchased in the new Store may only be available on consoles enrolled in the latest Preview update. This means… 

• Games purchased on a console running the latest Preview update can only be played on that console or other consoles running the latest Preview update. 

• Games purchased via Xbox.com can be played on any console. 

• Games purchased on a console running the previous update can be played on any console. 

• Certain parental control features aren’t functioning appropriately in the current build. As a result, we encourage users to exercise caution when letting children access a console that is using the latest Xbox One update until these issues are resolved. 

• We’ve added several settings that are already found on Windows today. These include SmartScreen Filter, which sends URLs you visit in apps to Microsoft to check against a list of potentially harmful sites, and advertising ID, which helps Microsoft present you with more personalized ads in Universal Windows Apps. You can choose to turn these off and manage your preferences for how Xbox One uses your information in Settings. FIXES 

• Xbox Universal Store : You can now Buy, Rent, and Play movies and TV shows from the Store. 

• Content discounted for Xbox Live Gold subscribers should now display the correct price. 

• Instant-On Mode In Instant-On mode, when the console enters connected standby, game and app installations in progress should now continue installing. CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES TOP ISSUES
