Xbox CEO posts masked subtitle for The Elder Scrolls VI and praises scale

On Aug. 11 Xbox CEO Asha Sharma posted on X that she watched a "Live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI : ********" and called the game's scale, grandeur and story "incredible" and "even greater." The line of asterisks in her message provides a new clue to the game's full title after years of vague commentary from Todd Howard. The post is a rare, high-profile update from an Xbox executive highlighting the game's scope and narrative direction.

• Asha Sharma posted the message on X on Aug. 11 and quoted a live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI with a masked subtitle: "Live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI : ******** this morning."
• Sharma explicitly praised the game's "scale and grandeur" and said "the story is even greater," emphasizing both world scale and narrative strength.
• The eight asterisks in the post mask the game's subtitle, offering what the article describes as a clue toward The Elder Scrolls VI's full title.
• The update stands out because Todd Howard had previously discussed The Elder Scrolls VI only in vague terms, making this a notable public comment from an Xbox executive about the game's progress.
