There's been a few system updates in the last month or so, can't exactly comment on games/apps, but do know I've experienced a few suprises.

"I'll just update this game for the sake of doing it so I don't have to later, shouldn't take long" 48 gigs later... ugh. I rode it out though, but your mileage will vary based on how many games and which.

Firmware.

To enable use of the chat adapter in the old controller(probably newer design too), that one that allowed 3.5mm to mount into the usb thingy at the bottom. Enables the use of third party headsets. Allows the ability to use the button remapping feature on the dashboard/devices.

Might be something else. Those are all touched upon/enabled by a controller firmware update.

10 years ago, if someone told me "by the year 2018, literal cardboard will need updating," I would've laughed them out the door.
