Observers have speculated that Asha Sharma’s Xbox profile was “artificially inflated” by third parties to bolster her gaming credentials.
Asha Sharma, the newly appointed head of Microsoft’s gaming division, has addressed the growing scrutiny surrounding her Xbox activity and social media presence.
In a response to IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey, Sharma admitted she was caught off guard by the intensity of the public reaction. She clarified that the situation is far more mundane than the rumors suggest: her account was recently created to help her immerse herself in the Xbox ecosystem. The eclectic library of titles and rapid achievement gains were the result of her entire family sharing the profile across various devices. Over the weekend, Sharma noted, this was rectified, and each family member now plays under their own individual gamertag.
Furthermore, she tackled allegations that her social media posts were being generated by AI—a field she previously specialized in at Microsoft. Sharma acknowledged that faking an interest in gaming would be a strategic blunder, emphasizing that her enthusiasm for the industry is entirely authentic.
