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.

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.
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 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?

Who the fuck is using xitter on a ps5?
What are they going to replace it with? The X button is so iconic! … oh, gotta finish reading the headline before commenting.
PS4 had Twitter integration?
Man, everyday i’m more glad i stopped at the PS3.
My wife and I share a PS4 and neither of us knew it had Twitter integration.
I think it’s just for media sharing, like posting screenshots and video clips.
Even the switch had that.

Man, Dirt 3 had YouTube integration and npcs telling you to ‘upload that sick trick to youtube’. A wild time.
That’s actually kinda neat, especially given how popular GoPro footage was at the time and like, stunts in general
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.
Never tried hitting that share button in eight years?
nope, it’s a waste of a button. I hate that button with a passion.
Counterpoint: I really enjoy taking photos in games that have photo modes, and it’s a great button for that.

I haven’t owned a PlayStation since the first one, there’s a dedicated Twitter button on the controller?
It’s the “share button”. Apparently somewhere in there lets you post to a linked twitter account.
No there’s a share button, it takes screenshots/videos and you can share them to certain platforms.
Ah got it
It even replaced the select button, which to be frank was also quite useless (but not as much).
Technically it didn’t replace the select button. The touch pad replaced the select button.

Weird design choice.
Nope, I’m pretty introverted and don’t really have friends, lol
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.
Am I the only idiot that read X as X11 then realized it was referring to Twitter?
No, the logo is basically identical
TIL the PS5 & 4 had Twitter integration lol
Iirc it was only used for uploading screenshots and videos captured on the consoles
Now it supports upload them to PS App, at least on ps5. Which is so much better
That’s sounds a lot more convenient
Good riddance.
Burn baby burn
How will scrubquotesX get content now?
