Sony ends Twitter/X integration on PS4/PS5

Sony

Sony is ending its integration with X (formerly Twiter) on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles next week. The ability to view any content published on X on PS5/PS4 and post and view content, trophies, and other gameplay-related activities on X directly from PS5/PS4 will end on Nov. 13. 

The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5’s integration of Twitter has been a simple way to share screenshots and gameplay clips to social media for the past decade. With the Twitter/X integration removal, PlayStation users will need to use Sony’s official PlayStation App for Android and iOS to transfer screenshots and video from their PlayStation console to a mobile device.

Microsoft made a similar move earlier this year when it removed Twitter/X integration from Xbox consoles and the Game Bar on Windows. Microsoft’s decision to remove that integration coincided with Twitter/X’s rollout of a new API pricing structure, which could cost a company like Microsoft more than US$40,000 per month. For now, the only other current-gen console with Twitter integration is the Nintendo Switch.
