Xbox Restyles Its Social Accounts as ‘XBOX’ After Fan Poll

The change signals Asha Sharma’s fan-first reset, limited to social profiles rather than a legal rename.

Overview

  • Xbox’s official account on X now appears as XBOX after a user poll that gave the all-caps option a clear lead of about two-thirds.
  • Outlets reporting on the shift note it is a social-media styling choice and not an official corporate name change.
  • Some profiles have been updated, including Asha Sharma’s LinkedIn, while others such as Bluesky and Threads have not yet switched.
  • The all-caps look echoes the brand’s early console era and lands during the 25th anniversary, tapping nostalgia to rally longtime fans.
  • The move fits a wider reset under Sharma since late April, including consolidating branding back to Xbox, updated Game Pass pricing, a new logo and boot animation, and internal changes.
