Continuing to build upon the feature set of the next Xbox One update, Microsoft has unveiled a new pre-release build on its way to select users. Rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha preview ring, today's update introduces a new dedicated Xbox Game Pass tab in the console's games library, alongside various fixes.

The biggest change in this latest update is a new Xbox Game Pass tab, located on the left-hand menu of "My games & apps." Next to existing options, such as "Games" and "Ready to install" tabs, this shifts all Xbox Game Pass subscription titles into a dedicated area. From here, subscribers can quickly access the complete library and install new titles. For those not subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, the tab will not be displayed. This follows earlier news that Microsoft plans to expand the offerings of its Netflix-style subscription service to include future first-party titles on release day.

Today's update will begin rolling out from 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET on January 23. For those who use the Xbox One's "Instant On" mode, the update will begin automatically downloading to your console. If you choose to manually install the build, navigate to "All Settings > System > Console Info & Updates" and check for an update. Read on for the complete list of changes, fixes, and currently known issues, via Microsoft's changelog.
