Freshly minted Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma opened an informal Q&A on Elon Musk’s social media platform after moving from Microsoft’s AI division. The former marketer, who has little experience in gaming, steps into the role amid skepticism following waves of developer layoffs, game cancellations, and studio closures.

She asked followers, “Top 3 greatest games ever? Why? GO,” and named Halo, Valheim and Goldeneye in one reply. Sharma also shared a Gamertag showing playtime in Halo Infinite and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, a 10,860 gamerscore, and what appeared to be a burst of activity in the past month — 29 games and a surprising number of achievements in Ball x Pit.

Borderlands 2 showed up on her recent activity after a user recommended it. Responses were mixed. Some saw the engagement as a sign she is accessible; others viewed it as a carefully curated PR rollout. With Microsoft moving big franchises onto PlayStation 5 and many longtime fans feeling betrayed, the crowd pressed her about exclusives.
