PlayStation Ending Twitter/X Integration Next Week

Next week, a new PS5 update will end the integration between X and PlayStation (formerly Twitter). This means that users won’t be able upload video and screenshots directly from their consoles to social media sites.

An announcement update posted to the PlayStation Support page states that on Monday, November 13, X integration will end, which 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).”

While a bummer for those who make frequent use of this feature, which offers a simple method of posting gameplay content to the platform, there are a couple of more complicated alternatives depending on your platform. If you’re a PS5 user, you can still use the PlayStation mobile app to upload gameplay captures to then post on X. Here’s how you can do it. PS4 owners will have to depend on ShareFactory. They’ll also need to do some extra work. Read the instructions here.

Microsoft made the same move in April by disabling sharing to X directly from the console and instructing players to instead use the Xbox app on mobile (with some suggesting the decision was made to avoid paying the platform’s then-new monthly application programming interface (API) fee). This now means that the Switch will become the sole console that supports direct media sharing to X.
