New Xbox head Asha Sharma has addressed scrutiny over her Xbox gamertag after sharing the account on social media, saying that "faking would be a terrible idea."

The gamertag attracted significant attention over the weekend after users noted a run of full or near-full completions on titles including Ball x Pit, A Short Hike, Firewatch, Townscaper and What Remains of Edith Finch. Coverage on Pure Xbox highlighted how many of those completions appeared to have been earned in a relatively short timeframe, prompting online scepticism about the account activity.

Sharma responded to the attention and explained the situation, stressing that fabricating gamerscore or achievement records would be inappropriate. Her comment that "faking would be a terrible idea" formed the clearest public rebuttal to critics.

The episode underlines how visible platform executives can become when sharing personal gaming accounts and how quickly community scrutiny can follow. The original report and further context are available via Pure Xbox.
