Xbox CEO teases eight-character subtitle after viewing The Elder Scrolls 6 playthrough

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said she watched a "live playthrough" of The Elder Scrolls 6 and posted eight asterisks that imply an eight-character subtitle. The game was announced more than eight years ago but remains largely unseen publicly. Bethesda says development is progressing — "where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day" — even as mass layoffs at Xbox have affected Bethesda staff and raised concerns about delays and morale.

• Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, wrote she witnessed a "live playthrough" and included eight asterisks in her post, suggesting an eight-character subtitle for The Elder Scrolls 6.
• The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced over eight years ago and has had few public reveals since.
• Bethesda stated in July that the game is "where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day."
• Mass layoffs at Xbox impacted Bethesda staff, who reported fears of delays and a crushing effect on morale; Bethesda is also working on Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters, while Obsidian and others are developing new Fallout projects including Fallout 5.
