Playstation 5 and Playstation 4 will have reduced sharing capabilities starting November 13th
End of X Integration on PlayStation Consoles
PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles are set to discontinue their X (formerly Twitter) integrations. This means that as of November 13, users will no longer have the ability to post clips or screenshots directly to X from either system.
Possible Reasons for Discontinuation
Sony has not provided specific details on the reasons behind the decision to end X integration on its consoles. However, it is speculated that this move may be linked to X’s decision to cease offering its free API earlier this year, requiring developers and companies to pay for access to its services. In April, Microsoft also stopped allowing users to post Xbox clips directly to X, possibly due to these changes.
Despite the end of direct integration, users will still have options for sharing their PlayStation clips to X. PS5 owners can utilize the PS App to access recent captures and share them to X from their mobile devices. Alternatively, PS4 users (and PS5 owners who prefer this method) can transfer screenshots and clips to their computers using a USB drive or explore other direct sharing options available on both consoles, such as YouTube.
