PlayStation is cutting off X sharing options | The Verge

About time we see the bigger companies move away from that malware swamp of a website.

Many more need to follow suit.

As much as I never want to hear about the dear musky leader, I’m kinda curious if his fraternity bro ego is going to be butthurt about this and lash out at Sony. 😂

Now, add mastodon if they don’t have it already!

I was confused as shit trying to read this headline, I’ve never heard of x sharing and was trying to figure out what that meant, and then I realized it was just twitter. X is such a dumb name.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sony is terminating its X (formerly Twitter) integrations for PS5 and PS4, meaning you soon won’t be able to post screenshots and clips to X from those consoles.

“As of November 13, 2023, integration with X (formerly known as Twitter) will no longer function on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles,” Sony said in a support message on its website.

“This includes the ability to view any content published on X on PS5/PS4, and the ability to post and view content, trophies, and other gameplay-related activities on X directly from PS5/PS4 (or link an X account to do so).” Wario64 posted a screenshot of a similar message on Threads that appears to have popped up on a PS5 console.

Sony didn’t elaborate on why it’s cutting off its X integrations, and the company didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.

However, in the message on its website, the company pointed to support documents about how to share your captures from PS5 or PS4 if you want to pull them off those consoles to post elsewhere.

(If you’re on PS5, the PlayStation app is a great way to grab your video and screenshots so you can share them on social media platforms.)

I wonder if they were going to be subject to API rates or if there is just an amount of work needed on their end.
