From what I recall hearing, I believe that is a theoretical feature (Sony and/or MS have given it as a benefit that could come from the use of SSD) that could exist in next gen systems.  I'm not aware that anybody has confirmed that they're making use of it in any game.  

"However, game installation (which is mandatory, given the speed difference between the SSD and the optical drive) will be a bit different than in the PS4. This time around, aided in part by the simplified game data possible with the SSD, Sony is changing its approach to storage, making for a more configurable installation—and removal—process. "Rather than treating games like a big block of data," Cerny says, "we're allowing finer-grained access to the data." That could mean the ability to install just a game's multiplayer campaign, leaving the single-player campaign for another time, or just installing the whole thing and then deleting the single-player campaign once you've finished it.

Regardless of what parts of a game you choose to install and play, you'll be able to stay abreast of it via a completely revamped user interface."

Yeah, that article says the same thing I said "That could mean....". (Emphasis mine)
