PS4 and PS5 Will Lose Twitter Integration Soon

Twitter (X) integration will no longer be available on PS4 or PS5 consoles. This update will go live on November 13, 2023. [Thanks, Wario64!]

Currently, it is possible to directly view and post game activity to Twitter from the PS4 or the PS5. You simply need to click the Share button on the controller when you record a video or take a screenshot, and then you can make a Tweet directly from the console. However, after November 13, 2023, players will have to download their gameplay content and then post to Twitter from their PC. You can also use the PlayStation App to do this. Judging from direct replies to Wario64’s Tweet, it seems that the majority of people already use the PS App method of downloading and uploading clips.

The reason behind Sony’s decision to remove Twitter integration is likely due to the high prices that Elon Musk introduced to the platform in February 2023. As a result, a lot of sites and programs that previously allowed users to log in via Twitter removed the function. The Enterprise tier of pricing, which Sony would need to use, could cost a minimum of $42,000 a month.

Twitter integration will end for the PS4 and the PS5 on November 13, 2023.
