Sony Interactive Entertainment sent a message via the PS5 and PS4’s advisory systems mentioning that the consoles won’t support X (formerly Twitter) integration anymore.

    lol the PS4 and 5 had Twitter integration? Didn’t even know that was a thing and I’ve been a Playstation user since the PS2 and currently rock a PS5.

        Not the person you asked, but honestly it’s the most useless button on the controller. I hit it by accident, and want the menu to go away quicker than it took to load in.

          I haven’t owned a PlayStation since the first one, there’s a dedicated Twitter button on the controller?

          I definitely see its use. Suppose you don’t consider yourself a content creator, but you’re playing GTAV and some absolutely hilarious one-in-a-million glitch happens where a ragdoll flips in JUST the right way. It’s good to have a fast button to be able to mark the recording for later. Could be that video would get to a million views, but only if you’re able to record it.

            I’ve saved a few clips for this reason and I’d rather just go to the PS5 quick menu and open up the share screen from there. I don’t know why that wasn’t the option to begin with, are people saving clips frequently enough to require its own button?

            Weird design choice.

          Counterpoint: I really enjoy taking photos in games that have photo modes, and it’s a great button for that.

          Doesn’t mean you can’t save some fun photos for later. They save to your console by default; you don’t have to share them at all.

      Yeah because we’ve gotta share clips of what we play to several dozen fucking media places. I’m glad my better gaming days seemed to be resting at the PS2 era, didn’t have all of this social media shit.

    What are they going to replace it with? The X button is so iconic! … oh, gotta finish reading the headline before commenting.
